What Burns Within is the first novel in a series of police procedurals set in Vancouver from Sandra Ruttan, Canadian Author, blogger of repute(link is external) and contributor to many of the lists and sites that I belong to.

It will be released in the North American market in May, but it is due to be available in Australia sometime after that.
