Burning Evidence

A Jodi Brennan Australian Coastal Crime Thriller

By: Phillip Strang

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Ann Cleeves, and Chris Hammer

When volunteer firefighter Nathan Caldwell's body is discovered in an area that should have been cleared before a controlled burn, Detective Jodi Brennan's routine observation transforms into murder investigation.

Nathan was alive when the fire reached him. Desperately trying to escape. And evidence shows he was deliberately left to burn.

The investigation leads to respected brigade member Gavin Pierce, whose specialized fire training and quiet competence provided the perfect cover for murder. Gavin's expertise in fire behavior became his weapon—a way to kill that should have looked like tragic accident.

As a catastrophic bushfire approaches Wirramurra Bay, Jodi faces dual threats: the advancing fire front and a killer using the emergency to cement his hero status while eliminating witnesses. With the community reluctant to believe a trusted firefighter could engineer a colleague's death, Jodi must follow evidence that reveals how someone sworn to save lives learned to take them instead.

The fire emergency creates the perfect smokescreen for calculated murder, forcing Jodi to navigate community resistance and growing danger as she pursues justice for a death designed to disappear in flames.
