När ett hus i södra London börjar brinna en kväll under pågående byggarbete rusar ett tätt sammansvetsat team av brandmän in för att rädda en man som setts i ett fönster. Men när de kommer ut har de honom inte med sig. En kort tid senare säger de upp sig, en efter en, och bestämmer sig för att aldrig prata med varandra igen. Fem år senare bränns en av männen ihjäl på sitt eget bröllop. Kort därefter hittas ytterligare en av dem död. Någon verkar veta vad de fem brandmännen gjorde den där kvällen, och nu är bara tre av dem kvar i livet. Kriminalkommissarie Alex Finn och hans nya kollega Mattie Paulsen utgör ett osannolikt partnerskap. Men de måste nu samarbeta i en kamp mot klockan för att hitta mördaren - innan elden fortsätter att sprida sig.I svensk översättning av Sabina Söderlund.
