The Fireground

Flynn was only a teenager when her parents were killed in a terrible accident. Too young to lose her parents, too young to take on responsibility for her younger sister Kaiya, too young to protect Kaiya from the harshness of their new lives in the following years.

Desperate to help her sister, Flynn reaches out to Willa Tomlinson, a grief counsellor renowned for helping her patients cope with profound loss. Under Willa's influence and care, Kaiya finally seems to turn a corner, joining the climate action collective that Willa leads. Kaiya's passion is ignited and she immerses herself in the group, leaving on frequent camping trips in the West Australian bush.

But when a raging bushfire sweeps through the bushland near Margaret River, Kaiya fails to return with the rest of the group. Noah is no stranger to loss or to violence, but these days, he's more interested in helping people develop the skills to defend themselves than seeking out fights of his own.

When Flynn enters his life, desperate to find out what really happened to her sister, a friendship sparks, and Noah finds himself agreeing to help her. To do so, he'll need to infiltrate Willa's cultish collective at the fireground.

In this new Original from the number one internationally best-selling author of The Ruin and The Murder Rule, Dervla McTiernan, Flynn and Noah must reckon with their pasts and fight to find the answers they seek before Kaiya's trail burns out.
