Haze. By Sam Elliott.

A town engulfed in flames.

The dying coastal town of Broughlet is being torn apart by wildfires, and the locals suspect arson.

A cult devoted to fire.

The sinister People's Cleansing Light is suspected of setting the blazes.

A missing child.

Amid the choking black smog, Constable Dahlia Turner discovers a horrifying crime - her best friends have been murdered and their son abducted. Finding him will mean confronting the violent past she's spent years trying to outrun.

But as danger closes in around her, can Dahlia uncover the truth before it burns away forever?

'Fast-paced and incendiary . . . I defy readers not to fall for Dahlia Turner, with her troubled past and even more troubled present. This is a wild ride, and Sam Elliott is a writer to watch!' - Hayley Scrivenor
