Your house is on fire. What do you save? You have seconds to decide. If everything is about to burn, what do you rescue first? 'Gripping' Daily Express 'Full of twists and turns' That's Life 'Another winner... Plenty of twists, the odd conspiracy theory to ramp up the pace. Insider glimpses into the media and art world add fascination' Press Association _______________ When the West End Gallery in London's fashionable Coal Drops Yard is set alight, the fire service must use the list of paintings lodged with it - a grab list - to snatch the key pieces of art from the flames. But something has been altered. It’s the wrong list. Then the ashes reveal another tragedy: an unidentified dead body. Someone who shouldn’t have been in the gallery. Crusading journalist Famie Madden wants to know who it is and why they were there. Soon it becomes apparent that the ashes are hiding much more than they should be - and that this is much more than a casual act of arson… Bestselling author and legendary broadcaster Simon Mayo has created a spellbinding contemporary thriller. He weaves a story ripped from today’s newspapers that will take Famie far from the pages of her website into a murderous family saga stretching back over centuries. **_______________ Praise for Simon Mayo 'Mayo spools out his many twists and turns skilfully'** Observer 'Simon Mayo is clearly a force to be reckoned with in the thriller world' The Times 'The characters are well observed, the dialogue effortless and the twists and turns never-ending' Daily Mail
