Publisher's Summary:
Sunday Times best-selling author Stephen Leather's latest edge-of-your-seat thriller.
A standalone thriller from Sunday Times best-selling author Stephen Leather that takes us into the world of the London Fire Brigade's elite Investigations Unit.
Vicky Lewis is a force to be reckoned with: not yet 30 and already Crew Manager in the London Fire Brigade, she's destined for great things. But when she enters a burning building to save a man's life and leaves it with catastrophic injuries, all that changes. She's shunted over to the Fire Investigation Unit, where she's forced to team up with cantankerous veteran Des Farmer, aka the Grouch. When Vicky stumbles across the Grouch's off-the-books investigation into the fiery deaths of a series of young, blonde women, she decides to join him in his search for the truth.
The answer is close - perhaps too close. Vicky's already been burnt once, and now she's playing with fire....
Critic Reviews:
"The sheer impetus of his storytelling is damned hard to resist." (Sunday Express)

If you love programmes like Londonâs Burning
If you love programmes like Londonâs Burning, you are going to LOVE this book.
Vicky is a brilliant character. Her dad was a fire fighter and she has followed on in his footsteps. She loves being a fire fighter and itâs what she lives for. I really felt for her when she gets injured in action as her injuries are horrific and leave her badly scarred. I love how she doesnât let that stop her though and she does her best to get on with her life.
Des is another great character. One of those really miserable loners who just wants to be left alone to do his job. Having Vicky thrust upon him is something he definitely isnât happy with and he certainly lives up to his nickname The Grouch.
You canât help but enjoy the working relationship that starts to build up between both characters. There is a lot of mutual respect between both and I really enjoyed seeing that respect grow.
It was really fascinating to find out more about fires and how they are investigated. I certainly learned a thing or two and it will have you rushing to check that your smoke alarms are in good working order!
The Shout is an intense and gripping read that I couldnât put down. It is an edge of your seat, nail biting type of read. My only gripe is that this is supposed to be a stand alone novel of which this could easily become a gripping crime thriller series. With such great characters it would be a shame not to see more of them. To quote Oliver Twist, âPlease sir, I want some more?â
My thanks to Bookbridgr and Hodder & Stoughton for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
An action packed read
I was fortunate to get an advanced copy of this book to review. This is a great story with plenty of tension and action which makes it a page turner and easy read. Stephen Leather goes from strength to strength with his writing and if you have read any of his books before you will not be disappointed by this book. There could so easily be follow up books to this, great main character. I thoroughly recommend this book.
