New York Times bestselling author of Free Fall and Storming Heaven, Kyle Mills took the nation by storm with his stunning debut thriller Rising Phoenix, a powerful tale of intrigue and suspense that introduced maverick FBI agent Mark Beamon. Author Frederick Forsyth raved, "in the world of political thrillers, I have the feeling that young Kyle Mills will soon be a very big player."

Now Kyle Mills returns with his most riveting story yet, an edge-of-the-seat thriller featuring a new star -- female FBI employee Quinn Barn.

Bright, young, and ambitious, Quinn Barry desperately wants to be an FBI agent. At the moment, however, she's just a low-level employee toiling in the basement at Quantico. But Quinn's career -- and her life -- are about to change wildly. Testing her new database program, Quinn's computer savvy turns up a mysterious DNA link among five gruesome murders...a link that the old FBI system had been carefully programmed to miss. The discovery lands her a demotion to the hinterlands, followed by a series of unfortunate "accidents" that nearly end her life.

Bristling with the galvanizing suspense and hair-trigger action that Kyle Mills's fans have come to expect, Burn Factor is certain to carve another notch in bestseller lists nationwide.
