About this listen

 There is a secret, hidden within a body, burning within the flames, which will change it all. A man’s charred corpse is found in the latest of a string of arson attacks in the French city of Orléans. His is the first death. An extremist group claim responsibility but their whereabouts cannot be found. Police inspector Capitaine Inès Picaut and her team must track them down before more people die. Their only clue? The name of a woman who has been dead for over five hundred years: Joan of Arc. She is one of the great enigmas of history – a young woman who came from nowhere to lead the armies of France to victory against England. And who died the same fiery death as the man whose body has just been discovered. As more fires rage in Orléans and the death toll mounts, Picaut must look to the past and the secrets which lie buried there to unravel the mysteries of the present. As the clock counts down, she must challenge some fundamental truths to save those closest to her . . . Into the Fire is a breathtaking collision of past and present, a brilliant race-against-time thriller combined with an immaculately woven historical narrative. In it, bestselling author Manda Scott demonstrates why she is one of the most exciting, innovative and highly accomplished storytellers of our age.©2015 Manda Scott (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Crime Fiction Historical Fiction Mystery Thriller & Suspense Fiction Suspense Crime

Beyond brilliant. So absolutely captivating. The reading so perfectly suits both the characters and the story. I could not put this book down & strongly recommend to all, you will not regret it & would feel, I believe, privileged to have given your precious time to either reading or listening to this remarkable author.
I would read this book prior to reading/listening to A Treachery of Spies as it helps to understand Captain Picot’s life story.
Manda Scott I truly love your work.
