About this listen

 The brand-new gripping thriller from the million copy bestseller M.J. Arlidge

Nowhere to hide. No-one to turn to. Nothing to lose.

Helen Grace is sure she made the right decision to quit the force. Until the day she looks out from her window to see a desperate young woman being beaten by two thugs.

Still a force to be reckoned with, Helen races into the night and strikes the men down. For a moment, it feels like she doesn't need her badge to do good, but as she leads the girl to safety, she's struck from behind, regaining consciousness just in time to see the victim being dragged into a white van.

Helen's determined to find the woman and save her, but even begging her former colleagues to help gets her nowhere. It's clear it'll be up to her alone to make the rescue.

Taking matters into her own hands, Helen uncovers more women connected to the first who need her help. But fighting crime as a maverick is a dangerous game. One that could cost Helen her life, and the life of those she holds most dear...

A great MJ Arlidge story Into the Fire was fast paced and thrilling. A real page turner I listened to it all day, and didn’t want it to end. All the female characters are strong either good or bad and lead the story. Can’t wait for the next book !

Brilliant Helen Grace

Perfect pace, wonderful narration. I won’t give any spoilers, but it’s a must read.

Can’t wait to see where this goes.

Possibly the best Helen Grace yet

I have loved this series but on this occasion I thought Helen, Charlie etc just making the most ridiculous decisions although they’re supposed to be smart professionals. I know there’s no story if it’s all by the book - but this did have me shouting “don’t be so stupid again” a few times!
Still a good romp through the criminals of Southampton though!

I’m worried the women are becoming fools!
