Beyond the Flames

This stunning release will break you apart and remind you that we can all be put back together again, stronger and wiser than before.—Laurie Buchanan, author of the Sean McPherson crime thriller series

Embittered Fire Captain LEE GARRISON joins forces with retired Police Captain BRIGID O’BRIEN in a life-and-death struggle to save an African-American family that’s being terrorized by a savage outlaw motorcycle gang.

Beyond the Flames delivers a gritty and intense battle for justice in which the disillusioned Fire Captain Lee Garrison and retired Police Captain Brigid O’Brien, his demanding love interest, join forces to take down a ruthless outlaw motorcycle gang terrorizing an African-American family.

Haunted by his demons of PTSD from traumatic experiences during the Vietnam War and years of responding to unimaginable tragedies on the fire department, Lee is driven by a newfound sense of purpose when he rescues a young girl from a school fire and discovers her sister is being held captive by the notorious Hells Disciples gang.

With his explosive temper and cunning combat skills, Lee must navigate the treacherous underworld of the Iron Horse Mafia to free the sister and protect her family. But as Lee and Brigid get closer to their goal, they uncover a diabolical scheme that will have a catastrophic effect on the entire inner-city community and threaten all of their lives.
