Description
Fire can't be malevolent... can it?
A series of horrific fires has left top arson investigator Ruth Cutter baffled. The victims seem to have nothing in common except the unnatural intensity of the flames that engulfed them – and the child who haunts each crime scene.
Ruth doesn't believe in the paranormal – in her job she needs to be level-headed. She can't be distracted by superstitions and coincidences.
But, as her investigation deepens, she is forced to face a terrible possibility: these are no ordinary fires. They have a goal – to make the whole world burn...
From the million-copy bestseller and master of horror, Graham Masterton, this haunting thriller is perfect for fans of Peter James and Joe Hill.
Praise for Graham Masterton
'One of the most original and frightening storytellers of our time' Peter James
'Suspenseful and tension-filled... all the finesse of a master storyteller' Guardian
