By day, she investigates fires. By night, she starts them.

Dr. Catherine Jenkins, aka Red, is the UK’s best fire investigator. Tasked with establishing the origins of deadly blazes, she understands fire like no one else. Because Red has a secret: she’s a serial arsonist.

It’s a powerful addiction born from painful memories, but she can keep the compulsion in check . . . most of the time. And if she slips up, she’s always in a position to cover her tracks. But when her brother announces his wife has had twins, trauma bursts from the haze of Red’s past, and in desperate need of release, she burns down an empty, derelict house.

The next day, she’s called to the scene by the police, led by the indomitable detective Lina Karim. It’s simple, routine work—until a body is found. Who is the victim? Did Red cause their death? And does someone know more about Red than they should?

As Red and Lina get closer, only one thing is certain: someone is about to get burned.

Critic reviews

"A fast-paced thriller that grips from the first page. Assured and powerful—a scorching debut for dark autumn nights."
—Heather Critchlow, author of The Tomorrow Project

"Unique, bold and shocking. This sharply written and fast-paced thriller will draw you in and not let go till the final page. Red has the cynical worldview that I needed in my life. Sensational."
—Chris Bridges, author of The Death Bed
