Hidden in Smoke
When the crimes of a serial arsonist lead to murder, Sharpe and Walker need detective Eve Ronin to join the hunt in a blistering thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.
After dozens of Hollywood apartment buildings erupt in flames during a single night of terror, arson investigators Walter Sharpe and Andrew Walker are assigned to catch the serial torcher and end his spree. But then a catastrophic fire destroys a major freeway, crippling the city and forcing Sharpe and Walker to take on another massive case.
Desperate for help, they know exactly who to call: homicide detectives Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone. Together the four detectives must quickly figure out whether the freeway disaster was a tragic accident…or the work of a mastermind with a horrific plan.
As the investigations collide, an old foe with a revenge scheme enters the fray, igniting a race against time to stop a conspiracy of deception, corruption, and murder.

Lee Goldberg
Lee Goldberg doesn’t just write about crime—he’s lived inside its many versions, from the writer’s room of hit TV series to the pages of tightly-wound thrillers that never quite let you breathe easy. His career blurs the lines between Hollywood and hardboiled fiction, delivering stories that are as sharp with dialogue as they are with danger.
Long before his name was on bestselling novels, Goldberg was behind the scenes shaping some of television’s most memorable procedurals. That training ground—fast-paced, collaborative, steeped in structure—helped hone his uncanny sense of timing and tone. It’s why his books read like cinematic thrillers: smart, efficient, and always a beat ahead of the reader. Whether he’s following a rogue investigator in The Eve Ronin Series or peeling back layers of deception in The Ian Ludlow Thrillers, there’s always more happening beneath the surface than the characters (or audience) first suspect.
