He tried to solve a murder. And found himself in a war.

When a burned-out car is discovered on the outskirts of Nottingham, the charred body in the boot should be just another murder case for DCI Flint.

But the victim's identity changes everything—he's an undercover Customs and Excise officer, who has been operating deep inside a criminal gang importing massive quantities of heroin into the UK.

Flint finds himself caught between solving the murder and protecting a major investigation that could bring down a vicious drug gang.

As the killing ramps up, Flint faces the toughest test of his career. Can he get justice for the victims, and at the same time, prevent a flood of heroin from hitting the streets of Nottingham?

Or will his efforts be thwarted by a combination of criminal cunning and a corrupt senior officer?

The Burning Man is a rollercoaster ride that stretches from the poppy fields of Afghanistan to the hard streets of Nottingham—where murder is seen as the answer to every problem.

The Burning Man - the fourteenth book in the gripping detective series featuring DCI Danny Flint.
