Shawn Grady has served for more than a decade as a firefighter and paramedic in Reno, Nevada. The line of duty has taken him from high-rise fires in the city to the burning heavy timber of the eastern Sierras. He now lives with his wife and three children in southern Reno. This is his debut novel.

Firefighting burns in Aidan O'Neill's blood. The son of a fireman, O'Neill has a sixth sense about fire and often takes dangerous risks. When one act of disobedience nearly gets a rookie killed, O'Neill is suspended. His weeks off are supposed to be a time to reflect but instead he escapes to Mexico, where another rash act of bravery actually kills him. But only for a few minutes.   
  
Called back to Reno, he's now haunted by visions of hell and paralyzed in the face of fire. And at the worst time, because an arsonist is targeting Reno. With a growing love interest with one of the investigators complicating everything, Aidan must discover where his trust rests as the fires creep ever closer.

The Good Book Stall

Through the Fire is categorised as a suspense fiction book written by a fire-fighter and paramedic in Reno, Nevada, USA. This is Grady’s debut book but it is a good read.  
As I knew very little about fire fighting except for what I had seen on London’s Burning years ago and the film Backdraft, this gave an insight into life in this service albeit the plot dictated some of the more dramatic and fictitious scenes. Even though I enjoyed reading this novel I did get annoyed about that thing that some novelists do – the thesaurus look up – a perfectly good word is substituted for a word that just doesn’t fit or sound right, maybe it is a language thing, American English can sound odd to those of us used to the Queen’s English.  
That aside the overall plot was intriguing and entertaining if not so believable at times – like how many times can the fire-fighters be called out in a place like Reno – I’m not so sure, but it would have been more believable in somewhere like San Francisco or Los Angeles or even Las Vegas.
