There is no escape
One of the most disturbing cases Inspector Fawley has ever worked on
It’s the Christmas holidays and two children have been rescued from a house fire in North Oxford. Three-year-old Zachary is dead, and his older brother, Matty, is fighting for his life. Were they home alone? Their father is at a conference in London and isn't answering his phone, and there's no trace of their mother anywhere... The fire brigade suspects arson, but new evidence soon emerges, and Inspector Adam Fawley wakes up to his worst nightmare. Everything points to the fact that this wasn't an accident, but murder.
The third instalment in the Inspector Adam Fawley series, which has sold over 800,000 copies in the UK alone. The books are published in 25 countries.
What they're saying about the book:
Cara Hunter’s novel is full of unexpected twists, but the reader never loses contact with the fragile humanity of each character.
- The Sunday Times
I don't know how Cara Hunter does it. Inspector Fawley's latest case is also his best – and that's saying something! I couldn't put the book down.
- Simon Lelic, author of The House
