In THE TORCHING\, we get to ride along as Olivia battles to rebuild\, literally and figuratively\, her life and her home\, while her murky past continues to throw shadows over her present and future. Tightly written\, this one’s a heart-pounding page-turner from beginning to end.”–Annette Dashofy\, award-winning and USA Today bestselling author of the Zoe Cham \nThree years ago\, Olivia Callahan endured an assault that resulted in a devastating brain injury. She survived\, but she couldn’t remember anything about her life or who she was. Now\, she’s determined to build a bridge between the past she lost and the life she must reclaim. \nWhen Olivia crosses paths with Private Investigator Tom Stark\, she is drawn to the investigative field\, and becomes his intern. She finds a heavily redacted\, forty-five-year-old file locked in his desk drawer that mentions her mother as a young woman. Why had her mentor hidden the file from her\, and why had he never mentioned a case involving her mother? \nAs Olivia moves forward with her fledgling career\, a string of mysterious fires moves through the community\, puzzling the Baltimore Arson Investigative Unit. One of the fires strikes Olivia’s beloved farmhouse in rural Maryland. Now\, in addition to uncovering the secrets bound within the redacted file\, she becomes convinced that the fires happening around the area are disturbing calling cards…and they’re meant for her. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nKerry Peresta is the author of the Olivia Callahan Suspense series. Kerry spent thirty years in advertising as an account manager\, creative director\, copywriter\, and editor. She began writing full-time in 2009 as a newspaper humor columnist. \nHer books feature strong\, quirky\, women who wrestle with personal choices that result in dangerous and often bizarre situations. She is a member of Sisters in Crime\, Mystery Writers of America\, South Carolina Writers Association\, Island Writers Network\, and a presenter for the Pat Conroy Literary Center. Kerry and her husband live in Hilton Head Island\, South Carolina. www.kerryperesta.net. \n  \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.
