The Arsonist Next Door

The Arsonist Next Door

In 2000, a series of luxury homes built on the edge of a Phoenix mountain preserve were set ablaze. Graffiti left at the scene hinted that the fires were the work of eco-terrorists taking a stand against new construction and residential development. After a bombshell newspaper interview with the arsonist shook the investigation, police lured a potential suspect into a trap. He was known as an upstanding citizen, but cops enlisted the help of his best friend to get a confession.

From Sony Music Entertainment and Novel Audio comes “The Arsonist Next Door.” “Emerald Triangle” host Sam Anderson talks to keep players in the 2000 hunt for the firebug. He also searches for the real motivation for the fires - one more personal than political.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE ARSONIST NEXT DOOR" BEGIN IN THE FINAL NINE MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
