Book description
Brutal acts of firestarting have ravaged the Peak District, and now a
new wave of moorland infernos sweeps across the national park. For DS
Ben Cooper, the blazes are best left to the firefighters, even with
the arsonists still at large.
But when an intruder breaks into an abandoned pub, Cooper is on the
case - and he swiftly unearths a pair of grim surprises. The first is
evidence of a years-old double homicide. And the second is a corpse,
newly dead...
What links the three deaths? Where are the missing bodies? Who is
responsible - and how do the raging fires fit in? For Cooper and his
rival DI Diane Fry, it's the most twisted investigation of their
lives... and with an ingenious killer pulling the strings, it could
also be their last.
Drenched in atmosphere, rich with suspense, Stephen Booth's
relentless new thriller builds to a shock finale that will catch even
the most seasoned suspense readers off guard.
Stephen Booth is the internationally bestselling, CWA Dagger-winning
author of twelve acclaimed thrillers featuring Cooper and Fry. The
series is in development as a TV programme. Booth lives in Nottingham.
