After the Fire

£8.99

After a fire devastates the top floor of a tower block on the Maudling Estate, Maeve Kerrigan and her colleagues are called in. Their presence is needed because it’s a sensitive investigation – not because the blaze was caused by arson, or because several residents died, but because a body was found in the car park below the tower. It appears that controversial MP Geoff Armstrong, trapped by the fire, jumped to his death rather than wait for rescue. But what was he doing in these unglamorous surroundings? And why did he choose to die when rescuers weren’t far away? As Maeve and Derwent pick through the wreckage, they uncover the secret world of the 11th floor, where everyone seems to have something to hide.

But is the third victim that ensures the presence of detective Maeve Kerrigan and the murder squad.
