A propos du livre

Revue de presse

A promising start . . . this first-time novelist draws on his own experiences as a London firefighter to bring to life the dangerous world of firefighting. (Hello (Thermal Image))

O'Keeffe...brings an authentic feel to his descriptions of fire fighting, and the plot, involving arson and murder, is skilfully brought to an exciting climax (Sunday Telegraph (Thermal Image))

I hope he is planning more murders and more fires for his hero to fight his way through. (The Scotsman, Gerald Kaufman)

...authentic realism...packed with far more incidents than an episode of London's Burning (Publishing News (Thermal Image))

Pat O'Keeffe has written an intelligent and thoughtful novel that rises far above the typical arson terrorist adventure novel...Thermal Image is a successful debut novel and worthy of a reader's time. (deadly pleasures)

This first novel from Pat O'Keeffe is truly gripping with plenty of twists and turns in the plot...This is truly a book that is virtually impossible to put down. (the irish world)

This is an excellent first outing from a new author who deserves to be watched (Shots)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Steve Jay is a fireman on the edge. Crippling debts and the recent return of his unfaithful partner Jenny have bent him out of shape, getting between him and the job he loves.

But Jay's problems are only just beginning. A horrific fire in an East London fashion store and workshop tests him and his watch to the limit. And when an old friend offers him serious money to investigate the Sheldon family'' history of fires, it sounds like the answer to a prayer.

His decision to accept the case plunges him into a nightmare of arson and murder.
