Blackstone and the Burning Secret
By Sally Spencer
Inspector Sam Blackstone has dealt with arsonists before – but never one quite like this.
If the arsonist’s true purpose is to make the government hand over one hundred thousand pounds, why does he seem so reluctant to apply the necessary pressure?
In order to get to the bottoms of things, Blackstone – aided by Dr Ellie Carr, a passionate disciple of the new science of criminal pathology – must follow a trail of death and destruction. A trail will lead them to the very centre of government itself. And, not for the first time, Blackstone realises that in solving this case, he may well be destroying his own career.
