The charred remains of an elderly woman are discovered in a cottage, hidden away in woodland near Edinburgh. Clearly no accidental fire, Detective Inspector Tony McLean suspects that neither is this simply a grim arson attack. There is far more to the victim than her humble surroundings might suggest, and something ritualistic to her horrific murder. Nor will it be the only case of death by fire that Tony and his team will be faced with. The new book in the Sunday Times-bestselling Inspector McLean series.
