  Someone has found a way to commit the perfect crime...repeatedly. None of the witnesses, or surveillance cameras recording the crimes reveal the assailant. Cedar Point Police Sergeant Padre Martinez believes the assailant is an old nemesis, a computer savvy ex-con who has manipulated cameras in the past. But, when the murdered bodies of a research scientist and his wife are discovered, things get complicated. Not only are the ex-con's prints found in the scientist's home, but the deaths also attract the interest of the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Department of Defense. Exactly what was the scientist working on and what connection, if any, does he have to the other cases? Are the crimes really the skill of a high-tech genius or is there something more sinister at work? With dogged determination, Sergeant Martinez has uncovered substantial evidence all pointing at his number one suspect...that is until Martinez, himself, is accused of planting the evidence and removed from the investigation. Now Padre Martinez must depend on his old friend Private Investigator Chase Dagger to clear his name, and get his suspect.

  March 19, 1945: The war in the Pacific approaches its apocalyptic climax. The largest wartime armada ever assembled, Task Force 58, is closing in on Okinawa; once taken, it will finally put American B-29 bombers in range of the home islands of Japan—and victory. 
   
   
   
  At the heart of the fleet are fourteen Essex-class aircraft carriers, including the USS Franklin, known as "Big Ben"—a 27,000-ton behemoth, home to 3,500 crewmen and 100 aircraft. Just after dawn, while crewmen prepare for battle, a single Japanese Yokosuka D4Y breaks through the clouds and drops two 500-pound bombs on Big Ben. The first rips through the flight deck's three-inch armor to the hangar deck, exploding amidst two dozen planes carrying thirty tons of explosives. Rockets and bombs howl in all directions. Hundreds of men are forced to leap into the sea to escape, leaving the captain with only one third of his crew; there are more dead, wounded, and trapped men left onboard than able-bodied sailors. 
   
   
   
  Trial by Fire is the gripping novelization of how, against all odds, the sailors of the Franklin were able to save their ship, after three agonizing days of battling the flames that ultimately claimed the lives of 832 men and injured 300 more. Listeners will be astounded and humbled by the heroic actions of a few brave sailors in the face of catastrophe.
