Out of the Ashes: A DI Maya Rahman novel

'Another clever thriller from Vicky Newham' Paul Finch

'Newham's gift is to make her complex, flawed characters live and breathe' Times Crime Club

A tragic accident – or a ruthless killer?

When a flash mob on Brick Lane is interrupted by a sudden explosion, DI Maya Rahman dashes to the scene. A fire is raging through one of the city's most infamous streets, the sight of Maya's childhood home. And the discovery of two charred bodies in the burnt-out building transforms an arson attack into a murder case.

With witnesses too caught up in the crowd to have seen anything useful, Maya is facing a complex investigation without a single lead. And, when reports of a second, even more horrifying crime land on Maya's desk, it's obvious there's more at stake than she could ever have imagined. She must find the answers – before all of East London goes up in flames.
