Everyone thinks Emma Dockery is crazy. Obsessed with finding the link between hundreds of unsolved cases, Emma has taken leave from her job as an FBI researcher. Now all she has are the newspaper clippings that wallpaper her bedroom, and her nightly recurring nightmares of an all-consuming fire.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

My nightmare: it’s the same every time. I’m trapped in my bedroom with an inferno blazing around me.

It started eight months ago, when my sister was killed in a house fire. Her death was written off as an accident, but I know she was murdered.

There have been dozens of ‘accidental’ fires across the US over the past year that are all too similar to be coincidental.

I’ve never been more sure of anything.

One of the worst serial killers of all time is being ignored.

And it’s up to me to stop him.
