Summary

Play with fire, and you're going to get burned. The unputdownable new Ridpath crime thriller.

In Manchester, a block of flats is burning. The only victim is a middle-aged man, sat watching TV. Are the fire and the man's death an accident or is something more frightening at work?

Meanwhile, DI Ridpath is back with his wife and enjoying work at the Coroner's Office, his myeloma still in remission. But the quiet life is soon shattered by a new threat.

More corpses start appearing; charred, burnt, silent bodies, strewn in the streets and lodged in buildings. Next to each one is a chilling message sprayed in orange ink.

Fighting on all fronts, Ridpath will be drawn into the dark past of his city and the youth football clubs of the 1990s. He must find the link before any more people die. Before the flames come close to home...

An absolutely gripping, nerve-shredding crime thriller from master storyteller M J Lee, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Robert Bryndza and Patricia Gibney.

Brilliant

For the 1st time ever, I was sorry when it ended. A truly gripping storyline with an unexpected conclusion. The narrator did an excellent job.

Dreadful

Just hasn’t translated successfully to an audio book. Accents grated and characters fairly unbelievable. I gave this book a second chance and as a result am really annoyed that it can’t be returned - a lesson learned.
