    About this ebook

    Two rival gangs stare each other down across Birmingham. In the growing heat of an Alabama summer, the rival crime bosses prepare to go to war. Private Eye Roland Longville finds himself caught in the crossfire as he starts out on the trail of a wandering wife, and ends up dodging bullets in a feud that threatens to boil over in the sweltering heat of a Birmingham July. Roland teams with his old partner, Lester Broom, to save the city from the heat of The Burning Day.
