Hell’s Fire – a sleep-shredding mystery with an evil killer (Spicer series, book 4) (DI Spicer)

There will be no forgiveness…
The burning church lit up Manchester’s skyline. Outrage at the crime turns to horror when a charred corpse and satanic symbols are found in the smoking ruins.
Leading the investigation is the detective who refuses to give up: Jon Spicer. Soon, he stumbles into a perverse occult underworld he had no idea existed. Further killings bring the realisation that those responsible are prepared to commit unspeakable acts of evil in homage to their God.
With fires of hatred threatening to engulf the city, the atrocities must be halted. But even in Spicer’s worst nightmares, he can never imagine how close to home the investigation will take him.

Praise for Chris Simms’ novels

Simms has created a great cast of characters that you can care about. Spicer is flawed but good at heart and it is difficult not to root for him. More please. (SOUTH WALES ARGUS)

A persuasive, original plot about the underside of modern life is combined with psychological insight in an excellent thriller. (THE LITERARY REVIEW)

‘Thoughtful and exciting crime fiction at its best.’ (MANCHESTER CONFIDENTIAL)
