Fire Spirit

Fire Spirit

A haunting supernatural thriller where a series of impossible fires draws an experienced arson investigator into a terrifying mystery—and towards the possibility that something far more sinister than human hands is behind the flames.

“One of the most original and frightening storytellers of our time.” — Peter James

“Suspenseful and tension-filled... all the finesse of a master storyteller.” — The Guardian 

Fire can't be malevolent... can it?

A series of horrific fires has left top arson investigator Ruth Cutter facing a case unlike anything she has encountered before. The victims appear to have nothing in common, yet each has been consumed by flames of an unnatural intensity—and each crime scene seems to be haunted by the same mysterious child. Ruth is trained to rely on evidence, logic and facts. She does not believe in paranormal explanations, and she certainly has no intention of allowing superstition or coincidence to interfere with her investigation. But as the pattern becomes impossible to ignore, Ruth is forced to consider a terrifying possibility: these fires are not accidents, and they are not the work of an ordinary arsonist. 

The deeper Ruth digs, the more disturbing the mystery becomes. What first appears to be a collection of horrific individual crimes begins to reveal a much larger purpose—one that could reach far beyond the victims already claimed by the flames. Masterton builds the story around the collision of forensic investigation and supernatural horror, keeping Ruth grounded in rational investigation even as the evidence begins to challenge everything she believes about the world. The recurring child, the inexplicable fires and the growing sense that the destruction is part of a deliberate plan create an atmosphere of mounting dread, while the investigation steadily raises the stakes from one terrifying crime to a threat of catastrophic proportions. 

Some fires destroy what is in their path. This one has a purpose.
