‘Emergency. Which service do you require?’

‘He’s trying to burn down my house. He’s going to kill me.’

Anne Evans was a 'nuisance caller'. She would repetitively dial 999 in desperate panic, screaming down the phone that 'he' was going to burn her alive…

But after years of false alarms, people stopped listening.

Now, as the smoke clears, DCI Liz Field can only watch helplessly as Anne’s charred home collapses, her body still trapped inside.

The blaze leaves scant evidence behind, but the more Field's team uncover in the rubble, the more disturbing the case becomes. This wasn't merely arson, it was murder, tailored to the victim’s worst nightmare.

Everyone thought Anne was just a paranoid recluse. But is it really paranoia, if all that you feared comes true?
