Lindsey Sloan teaches the best and brightest students at Randolph-Lowen High School - exceptional teens with promising futures far from their small Alabama hometown. So when brash detective Jace Nolan arrives from up north and accuses her kids of setting a series of fires in local black churches, Lindsey is furious. No matter how Jace tries to convince her, Lindsey can´t believe her pupils could do something so horrible, let alone be addicted to the rush of getting away with it. But when her attraction to Jace places her in mortal danger and people begin dying, Lindsay can no longer be sure just what her students are capable of.
If Jace is right, it's up to the two of them to outsmart these criminal minds... before they carry out the ultimate thrill-kill.

Three black churches have been burnt in the past months when the police faces the problem of not finding any kind of evidence pointing to the possible arsonist. The briefly involved FBI profiles the subject to be highly intelligent, young, white and male. Worse of what already happened the profile predicts the torchings to be a thrill-crime soon to become a bore to the subject who's soon going to take the next step to thrill himself.
The police, with Detective Jace Nolan as the lead investigator, now concentrates on the Randolph-Lowen High School and it's class of gifted students, taught by Lindsey Sloan.
After threats to her own life, an attempt to kill her in a ticket booth and the suicide of two teenagers Lindsey soon has to change her mind from defending her pupils as victims of police absurdity soon has to the possibility the detectives accusations might be possible.

I've read a lot of opinions comparing this book to school massacres that happened in the past but I honestly have to admit this thought is a bit far fetched.
The plot is fine and keeps you reading and enjoying the suspense.
