Synopsis

Pat O'Keeffe's fire fighter hero is once again on the front line in a vividly real story of arson, drug dealing and murder in modern London. By the time Steven Jay reaches the screaming woman it is too late - her killers have butchered her, leaving Jay and a young fire fighter to explain themselves to a crowd that won't listen to reason. But that is only the beginning of the trouble. As London simmers through a heat wave, racial tension mounts across the East End. A religious leader has died; a political leader fans the flames; an embittered immigrant community's anger grows. Then an arsonist sets fire to an Asian cinema leaving hundreds dead, and the mob goes on the rampage. Their first target is the Fire Brigade - and some of them have picked Steve Jay as their victim. Jay has stumbled into a whirlwind of violence where big-time drug dealing exploits an embittered immigrant community's alienation. And to get out alive, he will have to nail a ruthless criminal.
