A clever, gripping thriller — a Da Vinci Code for those who like their prose to be elegant as well as page-turning – Antonia Senior * The Times – Best Historical Fiction of 2015 *Magnificent…Clever, gripping, and a nifty thriller to boot * Daily Mail *Into the Fire is a wonderful blend of fast and furious action, bravura storytelling, a palpable sense of place - Orléans past and present - and a whodunnit that will keep you guessing until the final pages. Fabulous. – Kate MosseWonderful…Combines the two things I love most: thrillers and historical fiction * Daily Express *Expertly blends a very plausible solution to a genuine historical mystery with a compulsive contemporary thriller. The result, as the title suggests, is intoxicatingly fiery reading – Robert GoddardManda Scott’s writing is so grippingly vivid that once you begin reading, it becomes your reality. Highly recommended – Elizabeth ChadwickTo say I was blown away is an understatement of the greatest magnitude. Into the Fire is in a word, magnificent. Page turning. Visceral. Mesmerising. Evocative - it’s so evocative. It’s filthy-nailed, sweat-stained, blood-drenched, gut-wrenching, tear-inducing. It’s everything I want a book to be – I did not want it to end – Ben KaneAn absorbing thriller that cleverly unites the past and the present – Nick Rennison * BBC History *An absorbing thriller that cleverly unites the past and the present – Nick Rennison * BBC History *Riveting for both the pulse-pounding action and the moral and character complexity * Bookseller *
