description

Set against the smoky, jazz-soaked backdrop of 1950s New York, Fanning the Flames follows Detective Ramona Jett, a sharp, unflinching investigator with a penchant for suits, secrets, and danger. When a powerful and corrupt media mogul, Albright Weatherton, storms into her office with a loaded pistol and a dangerous ultimatum, Jett is forced to navigate a treacherous web of blackmail, betrayal, and forbidden love. As the city burns with crime and corruption, Jett must outwit Weatherton while protecting her own dark secrets—secrets that could destroy her career, her reputation, and her life. With every move, the stakes rise, and the line between justice and survival blurs. In a world where power is bought and sold, and trust is a rare commodity, Jett must decide how far she’s willing to go to fan the flames—or extinguish them for good.
