'COMPELLING' - PETER JAMES * 'UNMISSABLE' - LEE CHILD * 'A RARE TALENT' - DAILY MAIL

When a man dies in a gas explosion, the police suspect arson. But the case takes on a new and terrible twist when the prime suspect, a local felon, is viciously attacked. As police enquiries lead from the expensive Harchester Hill estate to the local brothel, their key witness dies in a hit-and-run. Coincidence? Or cold-blooded murder?
