There was one case Priest couldn’t solve. He was a newly-appointed sergeant when he was called to a tragic house fire — deliberately set.
Three young women and five kids were burned to death. Priest couldn’t save them. The case has haunted him ever since.
A lone fingerprint was the single piece of evidence. But there was no match.
For twenty years, the case remained cold. Until now.
A new DNA test promises answers. But before Priest can finally link the fingerprint to a suspect, an unexpected confession blows the case wide open.
Can Priest find the true culprit before more lives go up in smoke?
This character-driven detective mystery full of wry humour is perfect for fans of Colin Dexter, Reginald Hill, J.R. Ellis, P.F. Ford and Roger Silverwood.
