London police detective Maeve Kerrigan has spent plenty of
time at Murchison House. One of the many cement high-rise
towers comprising the Maudling Estate housing project,
Murchison House is home to a motley mix of society. From
domestic abuse victims and elderly widows with nowhere else
to turn to its flourishing criminal elements, Maeve is
familiar with many of its occupants by name or reputation.
But when a fire breaks out at Murchison House that consumes
the top floors and leaves three dead, Maeve and her
colleagues are startled to learn the identity of one of the
victims. Geoff Armstrong was a wealthy, notoriously
right-wing London politician―the last person they’d expect
to find in a place like the Maudling Estate. And things get
even murkier when evidence surfaces indicating Armstrong was
murdered before the fire broke out. Was his death connected
to the fire? To the other deaths at Murchison House? And
what was he doing there in the first place? What Maeve
begins to uncover will lead her on a terrifying journey
through all levels of society, putting her very life in danger.
Jane Casey’s next riveting mystery featuring beloved
detective Maeve Kerrigan will keep readers turning the pages
from the opening scene to the stunning conclusion.
