ABOUT FIREWATCHING “A pitch-perfect blend of the best of the old and
the best of the new—all the traditional strengths and charms are
here, with a fresh and relevant twenty first-century edge. I loved
it.”—Lee Child A taut and ambitious police procedural debut
introducing Detective Sergeant Adam Tyler, a cold case reviewer who
lands a high-profile murder investigation, only to find the main
suspect is his recent one-night stand… When financier Gerald
Cartwright disappeared from his home six years ago, it was assumed
he’d gone on the run from his creditors. But then a skeleton is
found bricked up in the cellar of Cartwright’s burned-out mansion,
and it becomes clear Gerald never left alive. As the sole
representative of South Yorkshire’s Cold Case Review Unit, Detective
Sergeant Adam Tyler is not expected to get results, but he knows this
is the case that might finally kick start his floundering career.
Luckily, he already has a suspect. Unluckily, that suspect is
Cartwright’s son, the man Tyler slept with the night before. Keeping
his possible conflict-of-interest under wraps, Tyler digs into the
case alongside Amina Rabbani, an ambitious young Muslim constable and
a fellow outsider seeking to prove herself on the force. Soon their
investigation will come up against close-lipped townsfolk, an elderly
woman with dementia who’s receiving mysterious threats referencing a
past she can’t remember, and an escalating series of conflagrations
set by a troubled soul intent on watching the world burn…
