AN OLD FLAME OF MULDER'S BRINGS HIM A CASE INVOLVING A MAN WHO MAY BE SETTING FIRES AT A DISTANCE -- WITH HIS MIND.
A British peer burns to death before the eyes of his horrified family, and a Scotland Yard inspector, a former girlfriend of Mulder's, tracks the killer to the U.S. Enlisting Mulder's aid (and rekindling some flames of her own), she seeks an arsonist who seems to be able to light fires at a distance. Although Mulder tries to keep her out of the case, Scully tracks down the clues to the killer's identity as well as some chilling background information. Mulder must confront his own fear of fire as he and Scully track down a devilishly clever killer whose weapon may be pyrokinesis.
Notes
The first victim's name is Sir Malcolm Mardsen, the same as the hair stylist for "The X-Files".
