In the year 2000, an arson spree terrorized the city of Phoenix. Houses built along the edge of a beloved mountain preserve were being targeted.

A sprawling investigation turned friend against friend, and neighbor against neighbor. Once the fire starter was finally arrested, the mystery only deepened.
