'Breathtakingly original, and a captivating sense of place' VAL McDERMID
'A brilliantly inventive and twisty tale' CLAIRE McGOWAN, bestselling author of The Push
'A distinctive, intriguing, immersive debut' MARI HANNAH, multi-award winning author of Without a Trace

A local woman is found in a children's playground, tied up and burned to death. Her clothes are neatly folded and laid at the base of a nearby tree. Her body, charred and still smoking, is on display for all to see.

One town over, another victim is discovered in the scorched remains of a brutal fire, her clothes having been laid out just beyond the reach of the vicious flames.

Isabel Reis is called back to her post in the PolÍcia Judiciária hunt the serial killer and extinguish the red-hot city of Lisbon, or will she too get caught up in the smoke of the fire burning so close to home . . .

The blood-tingling final instalment in the critically acclaimed Inspector Reis series propels us back to Portugal, right into the path of a serial killer.
