ARSON-FOR-PROFIT
LIFE INSIDE THE LITTLE KNOWN WORLD OF CRIMINAL FIRES

STRETCH JACKSON-He torches buildings for a living. Handsome, honest, fresh from the Midwest. Caught in a race more deadly than he ever dreamed. Seduced by the corruption of San Francisco. In love with a woman who wants something more.
TOM FARLEY-The ultimate private investigator. One of the tough new breed dedicated to fighting arson – the fastest growing crime in America.
KAREN CANFIELD-A tarnished innocence. Fleeing an unspeakable past of abuse, in search of a healthy normalcy her love needed, but fate, so far, had denied.
JONAH WEST-The fireman’s fireman. Rock solid. A front-line firefighter who discovers that the battle against arson is not only on the fireground.
TRIANGLES OF FIRE is the first book to expose the respectable men, the powerful money, and the terrifying tricks-of-the-trade that caused arson-for-profit to explode across America and around the world. It's a book about those who fight – and sometimes die – to stop that crime.
TRIANGLES is a novel, but based on my personal, professional experiences. It's close to nonfiction. It's a real story of the loves, the lives, and the lethal conflicts in that milieu. The torches have their secrets, their techniques, their inhibitions and their secrets. So do the men like Tom, half detective, half intuitive. He has deep understandings, not only of fire, but of those whose world is lighting fires. There are many reasons to light fires and I expose some you may never have imagined.
Arson is a man's world, but like most men, their lives need love and the women in a criminal world are often as unusual as the men and still, they have the same sensitivities, desires and problems as any women anywhere and that's their story unraveled here, too.
