Jealousy. Arson. Murder. When a fire claims the life of young influencer Zara in the New Forest, DI Juliet Stern and DS Gabe Martin face a web of suspects: her cold and distant boyfriend, her jealous best friend, an old acquaintance bent on revenge and a stranger with a history of criminal activity. As they investigate, Gabe's past resurfaces when The Barrel Man, the serial killer who kidnapped her and her brother as a child, abducts someone close to her. Detectives Martin and Stern must juggle both cases and hope they make it out the other side… An immersive, pulse-pounding police procedural perfect for fans of Susie Steiner, Gytha Lodge and Cara Hunter.
