“Letters From an Arsonist,” is an investigative account and narrative about serial arsonist, Thomas Sweatt. From his prison cell, he confided to Jamieson in long handwritten letters details of his crimes and the motives behind them. Sweatt set more than 350 fires over 25 years in Washington D.C., taking at least two lives and costing the city millions of dollars before he was arrested and sentenced to two life terms in the federal penitentiary.
