Candice Fox, bestselling Australian crime fiction queen of Crimson Lake is back with yet another thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Twelve years ago a five-year-old girl went missing, presumed drowned, at a beach in Santa Monica. No body was found and the investigation closed. Even now her desperate parents continue to go to all lengths to find her.

In a final act of desperation they take innocent hostages at a Forensic Science Centre and demand the police reopen the case, find Tilly in 24 hours, or precious evidence in significant unsolved cases will be destroyed.

Detective Charlie Hoskins, former undercover cop, and Rookie officer, Lynette Lamb, decide if the cops can’t solve it, together they’ll take the case on themselves. They soon discover that there is considerably more than a missing child involved.

I thoroughly relished this book, which completely immersed and hooked me into the high velocity action and adventure. Fox has a gripping writing style as well as great subplots to complement it.

Lovers of thrillers should add Fire With Fire to their collection for the adrenaline-pumping ride. Fast-paced and clever investigative drama at its finest, structured with a brilliant premise and masterful storytelling.
