ONE WRONG MOVE  A body is found bricked into the walls of a house - from the state of the hands,it's clear he was buried alive,that he had tried to claw his way out before he died.The victim is quickly linked to a missing person's case and DS Adam Tyler is called. WILL IGNITE  As the sole representative of the Cold Case Review Unit,Tyler understands he's been placed there to keep him out of the way following an 'incident'.So when the case falls in his lap,he grabs the opportunity to fix his stagnating career. THE CITY   But then he discovers he has a connection to the case that hopelessly compromises him,and he makes the snap decision not to tell his superiors.With such a brutal and sadistic murder to unpick,Tyler must move carefully to find out the truth without destroying the case or himself.                  Meanwhile,someone in the city knows exactly what happened to the body.Someone who is watching Adam closely.Someone with an unhealthy obsession with fire . . .
