Smoke Screen

The flames tearing across California are more than nature’s fury—they’re a weapon.

For firefighter Riley Torres, wildfire season has always been about grit, sacrifice, and saving lives. But when a blaze ignites in a pattern too precise to be accidental, she discovers the unthinkable: someone is setting these fires on purpose. And the victims aren’t just homes and forests—they’re entire families being driven off land that powerful developers want for themselves.

Riley’s warning falls on deaf ears. Her department dismisses her suspicions, and soon she becomes a target. Threats shadow her every step. Colleagues turn cold. An “accident” nearly costs her life. Alone and hunted, she finds her only ally in Evan Blake, a volunteer pilot with scars of his own and a plane just nimble enough to pierce the smoke-filled skies.

Together, Riley and Evan uncover a conspiracy that stretches from corrupt officials to ruthless profiteers, all willing to let California burn for profit. With each blaze growing deadlier, the two must outpace not only the inferno but the killers determined to silence them.

As walls of fire close in, survival becomes more than a battle against nature—it’s a fight for truth, justice, and the thousands of innocent lives still in the fire’s path.

Smoke Screen is a pulse-pounding thriller of courage and conspiracy, where the greatest danger hides not in the flames themselves, but in the smoke that conceals the truth.
