NHFT virtual book club - our next read is Firewatching

Following our  immersion in the myths of ancient Greece with our reading of Circe by Madeline Miller, our next novel for the 10th NHFT virtual book club will be the Sheffield set crime thriller Firewatching by Russ Thomas.

A body is found bricked into a wall of the Old Vicarage. From the state of the hands, it’s clear the dead man was buried alive. When the man is connected to an old missing person’s case, Detective Sergeant Adam Tyler is called.

After an ‘incident’, Tyler needs this case to go well in order to prove himself and get his career back on track. But he soon discovers that he has a connection to the case that hopelessly compromises him. 

Meanwhile, someone in the city knows exactly what happened to the body. Someone who is watching Tyler closely. Someone with an unhealthy obsession with fire . . .

The next meeting will be Thursday the 28th of October at 7pm via MS Teams where we will be discussing the novel. You can find the link via the Events Calendar on the Staff Room.

Hope to see you there.
