Inspector Reis Book 4
The Burning Woman
A local woman is found in a children’s playground, tied up and burned to death. Her clothes are neatly folded and laid at the base of a nearby tree. Her body, charred and still smoking, is on display for all to see.
One town over, another victim is discovered in the scorched remains of a brutal fire, her clothes having been laid out just beyond the reach of the vicious flames.
Isabel Reis is called back to her post in the Polícia Judiciária to hunt the serial killer and extinguish the red-hot city of Lisbon — or will she too get caught up in the smoke of the fire burning so close to home?
The blood-tingling final instalment in the critically acclaimed Inspector Reis series propels us back to Portugal, right into the path of a serial killer.
The Colours of Death (Inspector Reis #1)
When a prominent man is found dead inside a Lisbon train carriage, the city erupts with suspicion when witnesses claim the violent act wasn’t his own. As unrest grows, Inspector Isabel Reis, a telepath with secrets of her own, has to put her life on the line to stop an ingenious killer.
House of Silence (Inspector Reis #2)
The body of a young Gifted woman washes up near Lisbon, and Inspector Reis soon uncovers disturbing links between the victim and a string of missing telepathic girls. As she navigates buried secrets and public prejudice, Reis must find out who killed her and whether any of the missing girls are still alive.
Broken Oaths (Inspector Reis #3)
A mass killing inside London’s Portuguese embassy leaves no survivors — except the person it was secretly protecting. Called in to assist British authorities, Inspector Reis unravels a deadly conspiracy stretching across borders and political lines, facing a ruthless enemy with no intention of being caught alive.
