The Answer to His Prayers - (The Dot Meyerhoff Mysteries) by Ellen Kirschman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In this mystery series featuring cop therapist Dot Meyerhoff, Dot's sleuthing after a tragic fire leads her to a former client-turned-criminal mastermind.

When a trailer park fire takes the life of a lonely, wheelchair-bound man, police psychologist Dr. Dot Meyerhoff is doing double duty counseling the first responders involved, especially the traumatized dispatcher. But talking with the distraught young 9-1-1 operator about the dying man's last words leads Dot to wonder if there's more to this fire than meets the eye. Soon the department is looking for an arsonist and Dot is doing some investigating on her own. But when she discovers a former patient is orchestrating crimes from behind bars, Dot is suddenly in over her head. Not that a challenge has ever stopped her before. Only this time, she may put her own mental health--and her mother's life--on the line. . . .
