The Burnt is the third book in the Declan Hunt Mysteries series.
Finding work-life balance isnโt always easy when youโre sleeping with the boss. Charlie Watts is stressed as he studies for his private investigatorโs license, starts taking on his own cases and navigates his relationship with Declan Hunt. He thinks he can handle it, but every time their relationship is going well, work always gets in the way.
While Charlie investigates a threatening note that appears to be from a boy who mysteriously disappeared ten years ago, Declan tries to find the meaning behind the final words of a man who was brutally murdered. As Declan and Charlie work to solve these mysteries, secrets from the past are exposed, Charlie is haunted by ghostly dreams and Declan is forced to confront some terrible truths from a hidden past.
Ultimately, the truth will be revealed, but at what cost? And will Declan and Charlie be able to solve the mystery of where they want to go next with their relationship before things at work take a terrible turn?
Declan got into his van and began to drive toward an address in Forest Lawn. He hadnโt been there in over a decade, but certain places heโd never forget. He thought back to the morning when he and Gary Sawchuck had been on patrol near an industrial park. Declan had seen flames in a vacant lot. His first thought was that it was probably a fire set by some homeless guys trying to keep warm. Winter in Calgary could be unforgiving, especially for those who lived on the streets. As they got nearer they had discovered that the fire was larger than theyโd expected. Still, it wasnโt close to any buildings and theyโd figured they could put it out with the extinguishers in their cruiserโs trunk. No need to involve the Calgary Fire Department. As the junior, Declan was the one whoโd ventured out into the cold while his partner stayed warm inside the car, finishing off his coffee. Sunrise wasnโt due for another hour so it was still dark out when Declan had pulled the first of the extinguishers out and tackled the blaze. Heโd emptied the contents of one extinguisher, then put out what remained of the fire with the second. Declan could still remember the rest like it happened yesterday. He had pulled out his flashlight and scanned the area around the fire which appeared to have been fuelled by a bunch of stacked wooden skids. Off to one side of the blaze, under another skid, was a backpack, blackened by smoke but only lightly singed. Declan had opened it and shone his flashlight inside, discovering some clothing. From the size of the shirt heโd pulled out, it appeared to belong to a kidโa teen, probably. Heโd dug deeper and found a wallet. There was identification in itโa Calgary Transit Monthly Youth Pass which was just about to expire, and a student card. The name on the card was Freddy Whitcher. Another runaway was the first thing that had come to Declanโs mind. Heโd figured the poor kid had probably been frightened away when the fire grew out of control and forgotten to take his pack. Then Declan had seen itโ a human leg protruding from under a charred wooden pallet.
