Torch
When a young homeless girl dies in an arson attack
on an empty building on Edinburgh's famous Princes Street, forensic
scientist Rhona MacLeod is called in to help find the arsonist.
Severino MacRae, half Scottish / half Italian and all misogynist,
has other ideas. As Chief Fire Investigator, this is his baby and
he doesn't want help - especially from a woman.
Sparks fly when Rhona and Severino meet, but Severino's reluctance
to involve Rhona may be more about her safety than his prejudice.
As Hogmanay approaches, Rhona and Severino play cat and mouse with
an arsonist who will stop at nothing to gain his biggest thrill
yet.
