Fire investigator Freya Redfern is given the task of determining the cause of the fire. Troubled by aspects of the scene, Freya can’t help but feel there’s more to it than a terrible accident.

About Susan Handley
Susan Handley grew up in England, in the Midlands and despite a love of literature, and crime fiction in particular, she never dreamt of being able to carve out a career as a published writer. But the desire to write never left her and after years of writing by night she has at last been able to share the results of her efforts.
Susan now lives in a small village in rural Kent with her husband and two cats. When she's not indulging in her love of writing crime fiction she loves walking (the hillier the better), bike riding (the flatter the better) and tending her veggie patch.
Susan is the author of two crime series: the DC Cat McKenzie series, which include: A Confusion of Crows, Feather and Claw, The Body Politic, and Close to Death; and the DI Matt Fisher series, of which the first Paid in Blood is currently available.
Susan has also produced two short story collections: Crime Bites Volume 1 and Volume 2. Full of bite-size crime stories there's bound to be something to suit all tastes.
