β¦ Synopsis
Detective Chief Inspector Nick Dixon arrives late for Bridgwaterβs winter carnival. Heβs come to see the squibbing, the traditional firework display that brings the townβs November festivities to a dramatic close. But when the squib of Avalon Carnival Club president Richard Webb is lit, it explodes, engulfing him in flames.
Dixon knows heβs just witnessed a killer making a very public statement. And he canβt help feeling itβs only the beginning.
After his suspicions are confirmed at the Burnham-on-Sea carnival forty-eight hours later, the race is on to find the killer before the next event in a nearby town.
Can Dixon stop the killings before any more lives are lost? And can he do it with police Professional Standards investigators breathing down his neck?
