Waterstones Says

When an arsonist claims the lives of a mother and child, DC Eve Starling determines to bring the culprit to justice in this compelling Brighton-set crime debut.

Once secrets catch, they spread.

Deadly fires are lighting up Brighton, and the latest case is alarmingly close to home for DC Eve Starling. The blaze was deliberately set, and a mother and daughter didn’t make it out of the smoke.

Eve’s investigation takes her deep into her own uncomfortable past. When her key witness disappears, and with the killer always one step ahead, Eve is desperate to solve the case – whatever the cost.

But Eve has no idea how close she is to the flames, and playing with fire can get you burned…

“loved loved this book”

Loved this book. The story line was gripping and the characters well developed. There was no dead space / fillers in it which I find with a lot of books, every chapter had purpose and worked to move the story along.... More
