In Into the Flames, a detective races against time to solve a murder amidst a raging bushfire, facing danger and uncovering hidden truths.
In Into the Flames, the serene backdrop of the Blue Mountains is shattered by a devastating bushfire threatening the small town of Rislake. As residents evacuate, a sense of urgency permeates the air. However, amidst the chaos, one person goes missing: Tracey Hilmeyer, the wife of a brave firefighter. Her disappearance prompts Detective Kennard, who is in town for crowd control, to take a perilous detour towards the inferno in search of her. What begins as a routine task quickly spirals into a harrowing investigation when he discovers Tracey's lifeless body at the bottom of the stairs in her home, revealing a shocking murder amidst the impending disaster.
As the flames rage closer, Detective Kennard faces the daunting challenge of solving a murder while the town is on the brink of destruction. With time running out and the evacuation nearly complete, he must navigate the complexities of the case and confront his own demons. The pressure mounts as he realizes that the killer could be lurking among the townspeople, hidden in plain sight. The stakes are high, and every moment counts as he races against the clock to uncover the truth.
Into the Flames is a gripping thriller that explores themes of bravery, loss, and the relentless pursuit of justice. As Detective Kennard delves deeper into the mystery, he must confront not only the external fire threatening the town but also the internal fire of his own determination to bring Tracey's killer to justice before it’s too late.
'A claustrophobic and tightly-plotted mystery unfolding beneath the breathless breaking wave of a bushfire. This vividly-realised rural crime thriller keeps you guessing until the very last page. Another excellent Australian noir from James Delargy.' -- Emma Styles
