About this ebook
An arsonist wreaks havoc in the English countryside as corpses pile up in this murder mystery featuring rival detectives.
As wildfires ravage the Peak District’s idyllic national park, hundreds of firefighters and park rangers fight to keep the blaze from reaching a historic inn, a landmark that has been boarded up for years. For weeks now, acts of arson have destroyed miles of land, and once the flames die down, a grim surprise awaits detectives Ben Cooper and Diane Fry—a body, dead for years

Wasn't that a rotten title? Without a spoiler I will say the series has new potential to go in different directions.
