About the Book

Pat O'Keeffe's fire fighter hero is once again on the front line in a vividly real story of arson, drug dealing and murder in modern London. By the time Steven Jay reaches the screaming woman it is too late - her killers have butchered her, leaving Jay and a young fire fighter to explain themselves to a crowd that won't listen to reason. But that is only the beginning of the trouble. As London simmers through a heat wave, racial tension mounts across the East End. A religious leader has died; a political leader fans the flames; an embittered immigrant community's anger grows. Then an arsonist sets fire to an Asian cinema leaving hundreds dead, and the mob goes on the rampage. Their first target is the Fire Brigade - and some of them have picked Steve Jay as their victim. Jay has stumbled into a whirlwind of violence where big-time drug dealing exploits an embittered immigrant community's alienation. And to get out alive, he will have to nail a ruthless criminal.

Review :
'The plot is convincing, the background detail of how firefighters go about their business is absorbing. The combination provides another winner for O'Keeffe.' Scotsman on Blowtorch 'Before becoming an author, Pat O'Keeffe was an operational station officer in the London Fire Brigade. He also holds a 5th-degree black belt in karate and has fought 28 times as a kick-boxer. It's no surprise, then, that he delivers action-packed, tough-guy fiction...gripping mysteries.' Sunday Morning Post on Blowtorch 'Can't help but feel the atmosphere of this book, and the others in the series, is authentic...The story rollicks along wrapped in robust prose...this story carries you along at the speed of a runaway fire engine, and its just as unstoppable.' Tangled Web UK on BLOWTORCH 'Gripping mysteries.' Sunday Morning Post on Blowtorch O'Keeffe...brings an authentic feel to his descriptions of fire fighting, and the plot, involving arson and murder, is skilfully brought to an exciting climax - Sunday Telegraph on Thermal Image ...a great writer of fearful, fiery fiction - Bangor Chronicle on Thermal Image ...authentic realsim...packed with far more incidents than an episode of London's Burning - Publishing News on Thermal Image< A gripping debut novel - S
