The Burning

by Jane Casey
The Burning
The Burning

Detective's fiery pursuit of a shadowy serial killer.

If crime novels with tenacious female protagonists intrigue you, Maeve Kerrigan's journey might just grip you from start to finish. Jane Casey's "The Burning" isn't just a mystery; it's an exploration of Maeve's resilience in a murder task force that underestimates her. Her growth amidst adversity and the chilling details of the case make for a page-turner that's both emotionally engaging and intellectually satisfying.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A serial killer who wants to watch you burn... The media call him The Burning Man, a brutal murderer who has beaten four young women to death, before setting their bodies ablaze in secluded areas of London's parks. And now the fifth victim has been found... Maeve Kerrigan is an ambitious detective constable, keen to make her mark on the murder task force. Her male colleagues believe Maeve's empathy makes her weak, but the more she learns about the latest victim, Rebecca Haworth, from her grieving friends and family, the more determined Maeve becomes to bring her murderer to justice. But how do you catch a killer no one has seen? And when so much of the evidence they leave behind has gone up in smoke?
