Publisher's Summary

The 11th book in the Sunday Times best-selling Inspector McLean series, from one of Scotland's most celebrated crime writers.

The charred remains of an elderly woman are discovered in a burned-out gamekeeper's cottage, hidden away in woodland to the west of Edinburgh. Clearly no accidental fire, Detective Inspector Tony McLean suspects that neither is this simply a grim arson attack. There is far more to the victim than her humble surroundings might suggest, and something ritualistic to her horrific murder. 

Nor will it be the only case of death by fire that Tony and his team will be faced with. This is only the beginning, and with such evil clouding the air, Tony begins to wonder what else will burn....

The best Tony McLean book so far. I loved it!

What Will Burn is the best in the series so far, which is surprising in such a long-running series. And so much better than the previous book, Bury Them Deep. It is heartening to read a male author addressing the ugliness of the global men's rights movement, and the scourge of domestic violence.

Ian Hanmore's narration is excellent as always. His voice is perfect for these Edinburgh-based crime novels.
