Publisher's Summary
'A masterclass in crime fiction' Jane E James
When DI Barton is asked to investigate a seemingly innocuous fire that kills, he believes it's either children fooling around or a worrying racially-motivated crime.
As he delves deeper into the case, he soon realises that there is a history of similar blazes spread out over many years, all within a close area. An idea suggested by pathologist Mortis makes Barton suspect he has the arsonist’s motives wrong.
When a night worker comes forward with a tip, Barton narrows down the suspects. But with all of them acting suspiciously, he knows for sure that one or more of them must be lying. And when a huge house blaze shocks everyone, Barton fears the killer has lost all control.
Who is The Fire Killer? What will be next to burn?
DI Barton is back as Ross Greenwood continues with his bestselling series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Ian Rankin.
What the critics say
"Move over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the pages until the final dramatic twist." (Richard Burke)
"Ross Greenwood doesn’t write clichés. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's spiced with a lot of humour." (Kath Middleton)

Hoping for more from DI Barton et al
Another engrossing police procedural from Ross Greenwood. Each book builds on the last, and the characters become like old friends. Looking forward to the next one.

Greenwood Never Fails to Please
Another good read. I really liked the story and the characters are up to standard. I love how Greenwood avoids the tired tropes (e.g., the old detective with the beautiful young thing on his arm). His detective is a good family man. Having covid in the background was excellent and gave it a modicum of reality. He also avoids tedious and boring background. You get enough without drowning in it.
I recommend this and all Greenwood’s DI Barton books.
