Despite his fear of fire, Ben's task is to put out the elusive Firebug, who uses high-tech methods to lure his victims to their fiery deaths. But this time, Ben needs help.

Computer scientist Maria Fiore studied many serial killers on Death Row, then created a new tool for this manhunt—a computer simulation of the Firebug's mind.
