After the Fire by Jane Casey
Arson, accident or murder? After a fire rips through a North London tower block, two bodies are found locked in an 11th floor flat. But is the third victim that ensures the presence of detective Maeve Kerrigan and the murder squad. It appears that controversial MP Geoff Armstrong, trapped by the fire, chose to jump to his death rather than wait for rescue. But what was such a right wing politician doing in the deprived, culturally diverse Maudling Estate? As Maeve and her senior colleague, Derwent, pick through the wreckage, they uncover the secret world of the 11th floor, where everyone seems to have something to hide..."Jane Casey's police procedurals go from strength to strength." (Sunday Times).
"one of the most charming protagonists in contemporary crime fiction" Irish Times "a dark, page-turning police procedural" Irish Independent "Jane Casey's writing is compulsive, menacing and moving" -- Sophie Hannah "The story of a domestic violence survivor and her young son is rendered with the authenticity of searing investigative journalismThe everyday plight of an elderly widow is brought to life with a complexity you won't soon forget. ... Kerrigan is a steadfast hero and narrator who wins the reader's confidence with her smart, wry sense of humour" Oprah.com
"All my criminal elements have some basis in reality, no matter how awful they may be. Nothing is completely farfetched." Jane Casey Crime is a family affair for Jane Casey. Married to a criminal barrister, she has a unique insight into the brutal underbelly of urban life, from the smell of a police cell to the darkest motives of a serial killer. This gritty realism has made her books international bestsellers and critical successes; while D.C. Maeve Kerrigan has quickly become one of the most popular characters in crime fiction. Her novel The Stranger You Know won the Mary Higgins Clark Award and she has also been shortlisted for the Irish Crime Novel of the Year Award four times as well as the CWA Dagger in the Library Award.
