‘Aidan Conway is a writer to watch’ Declan Hughes, The Irish Times

Play with fire and you get burned…

A gripping crime thriller, from a new star in British crime fiction. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin.

‘This fast-paced thriller builds, page by page, with a searing intensity to an explosive end’ Deborah Masson

Five men burnt alive.
In the crippling heat of August in Rome, a flat goes up in flames, the doors sealed from the outside. Five illegal immigrants are trapped and burnt alive – their charred bodies barely distinguishable amidst the debris.

One man cut into pieces.
When Detective Inspectors Rossi and Carrara begin to investigate, a terror organisation shakes the city to its foundations. Then a priest is found murdered and mutilated post-mortem – his injuries almost satanic in their ferocity.

One city on the edge of ruin.
Rome is hurtling towards disaster. A horrifying pattern of violence is beginning to emerge, with a ruthless killer overseeing its design. But can Rossi and Carrara stop him before all those in his path are reduced to ashes?

Critic Reviews

‘A Cold Flame is a gripping, white-knuckle thrill ride of a crime novel, set against the heat and dust of a vividly rendered Rome seething with corruption and conspiracy. Detectives Rossi and Carrera guide you safely through the inferno, always finding time for a cold drink and some perfectly cooked tagliatelle along the way. Aidan Conway is a writer to watch’ Declan Hughes
