Headstrong, sarcastic, and fiercely intelligent, magician-turned-FBI agent Jessica Blackwood knows better than anyone how easily people can be fooled. So she's not happy about being sent to Louisiana on what appears to be a wild goose chase hinging on an elderly man's recollection of an event that occurred decades ago. Especially because her boss, FBI consultant Dr. Jeffrey Ailes, has paired her up with young, earnest rookie agent Nadine. After risking her life to help the Bureau catch the serial killer of the century, this is her reward?
As she and Nadine clash about how to handle their strange assignment, Jessica must accept that, despite her best efforts, she's having trouble moving beyond her past as the rising star in a dysfunctional family of magicians. Raised in a world dedicated to deception, her refusal to accept things at face value is one of her strengths—but is it also a weakness that could cause her undoing?
In this compelling short story from Andrew Mayne, master illusionist and the author of Angel Killer, we see a new side to Jessica Blackwood—and get an electrifying sneak peak at her next adventure, Name of the Devil.

First Sentence: A rush-strained fishing trawler glides down the Mississippi river sending a wake across the water, gently rocking the houseboat.FBI agent Jessica Blackwood is sent off to the Bayou of Louisiana with rookie agent Nadine. An elderly fisherman claims he’d seen the crash of an alien spaceship decades ago.
There’s no question that Jessica is a character about whom one is intrigued. Having her set off against the lightness of Nadine is a wonderful contrast. It also causes Jessica to take a hard look at herself, realize the source of her darkness and correct it.
“Fire in the Sky” is a very short, delightful story. It’s fun to watch how the mystery is resolved. For those not familiar with the author and protagonist, it is an excellent introduction to a fascinating series.

Fire in the Sky A Jessica Blackwood Short Story edition by Andrew Mayne Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I was impressed at the skill that went into writing a short story that was satisfying. I have read a number of books by Mr. Mayne and have enjoyed the plots, characters, and the fact he can pull you into the story. This story was thought-provoking in that we realize we have preconceived ideas that may not be the way it is.
Good story, characters are well developed in an amazingly short mount of time. Leaves me looking forward to the next Jessica Blackwell adventure.
Interesting read, when Agents Nadine Cox and Jessica Blackwood investigate an older man's story about what he saw in the sky a fw years back, they are in for a bit of a surprise. I found this book interesting and more of an introspective into the characters lives than a story about what was in the sky. I liked the character development, which was good for such a short story and this book would make a great longer novel, but all in all it is an interesting read.
This isn't really a story, it's mostly a speech-and-thought conversation between the awed, puzzled neophyte and the cynical, egoistic burnout. It makes me sure that, though my recent acquaintance with Andrew Mayne was wonderful, I will stay far away from his Jessica Blackwood character.
I really enjoyed this short story. In a time when trust in the FBI has been rocketing to the bottom of the swamp, this story makes at least some of the FBI agents seem like good people to have working for us. It makes you think about ALL of our FBI agents. Most of the 'working' agents are doing their jobs and are not part of any conspiracy to illegally gain control of America.
I'm a fan of Andrew Mayne and the Blackwood character. This story was short and sweet. She's such a smart, to the point character. I couldn't help thinking of Brian Williams during the story. Read it and Angel Killer in preparation for the next Jessica Blackwood novel.
Very short read with nice characters and a twist I did not see coming even though I was looking hard (I guess magicians are quite suited to hiding things though!) My only minor criticism is the ending was a bit abrupt and I would have been happy for this to play on longer, but hey it was free and after reading Andrews other works I know he doesn't like waffling.
Definitely check out the other two excellent novels in the series before reading this.
