scorching day when an injured man stumbles into Chandler's station. He's
covered in dried blood. His name is Gabriel. He tells Chandler what he
remembers. He was drugged and driven to

is Heath walks into the same station. He tells Chandler he was taken by a man
named Gabriel. Gabriel told Heath he was going to be victim 55. Gabriel is the serial killer. Two suspects. Two identical

On the scorching February day in 2009 that became known
as Black Saturday, a man lit two fires in Victoria's Latrobe Valley,
then sat on the roof of his house to watch the inferno. In the Valley, where

known to police as firebugs. But the detectives soon found themselves on the
trail of a man they didn't know. The Arsonist is by Chloe Hooper and
takes readers on the hunt for this man, and inside the strange puzzle of his
mind. It is also the story of fire in Australia, and of a community
that owed its existence to that very element. The command of fire has defined
and sustained us as a species - understanding its abuse will define our
future.
