Slow Burn, by Roxanne Longstreet Conrad
(writing as Roxanne Longstreet)

Her novel Red Angel was hailed by critics and compared to Silence of the Lambs. Now, from acclaimed author Roxanne Longstreet comes a thriller of heartstopping suspense -- the story of two women who stumble on a conspiracy that's beyond belief ...

The first incident occurred in Chicago -- a traveling salesman inexplicably went up in flames. The second and third cases of spontaneous combustion -- in Texas -- made the national news.
By the time the good Reverend Zeke caught fire during a service in his Louisiana church, Washington DC's Office of Environmental Hazards was involved. So were two women named Velvet and Robby ...

Suddenly, panic is spreading across America. Suddenly, Velvet and Robby are running for their lives, pursued by the FBI and a mysterious group of terrorists. Because they've seen something they weren't meant to see.

And for two women on the edge of an explosive conspiracy about to blow sky-high, the only way to survive is to keep running.

Before the shocking truth gets them burned alive.
