From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Emerson doesn't sugarcoat racism or sexism in the fire department. Strong plot, terrific descriptions, and lots of characters to dislike."; "Earl Emerson is a master at ratcheting up the tension and keeping it amped. Set in Seattle this story uses the hazards facing firefighters to draw attention to long standing prejudices against women in what were once thought to be male-exclusive professions. Fast-paced, perceptive and sometimes funny, this story is a good read."; "#3 in the Mac Fontana series. This entry was nominated for the 1994 Anthony award. Mac Fontana is a firefighter from a large Eastern city who has come to Staircase, WA, a small town to the east of Seattle, as chief. Author Earl Emerson adds authenticity to his tales of firefighting being a long time Lieutenant with the Seattle Fire Department."; "A fun mystery with lots of action and humor. I really like the way he writes."
