David C Cook, Jan 1, 2010 - Fiction - 320 pages

In 1894, the worst firestorm in Minnesota history descended on the town of Hinckley, consuming 400 square miles and killing 418 people in just four hours.

Heat, flame, and darkness swept through the town, devouring lives, and consuming all hope. In the aftermath of the fire, the town of Hinckley rises from the ashes, its people determined to rebuild their lives.

But in the shadows, someone is watching, someone is waiting, someone who knows the secrets the fire lay bare. A rumor spreads of a mysterious figure that haunts the hills; monster, a ghost, or a memory?

Review: Veil of Fire

User Review  - Marbie - Christianbook.com

Wow, this book hooked me from the first page. Very exciting read. I didn't guess who was the person living in the hills. Normally I see that soon in a book. So it was nice not knowing... for once. It was very well written.
