About this listen
Sunday Times best-selling author Stephen Leather's latest edge-of-your-seat thriller.
A stand-alone thriller from Sunday Times best-selling author Stephen Leather that takes us into the world of the London Fire Brigade's elite Investigations Unit.
Vicky Lewis is a force to be reckoned with: not yet 30 and already Crew Manager in the London Fire Brigade, she's destined for great things. But when she enters a burning building to save a man's life and leaves it with catastrophic injuries, all that changes. She's shunted over to the Fire Investigation Unit, where she's forced to team up with cantankerous veteran Des Farmer, aka the Grouch. When Vicky stumbles across the Grouch's off-the-books investigation into the fiery deaths of a series of young, blonde women, she decides to join him in his search for the truth.
The answer is close - perhaps too close. Vicky's already been burnt once, and now she's playing with fire....

surprisingly interesting and gripping read

I loved the uncomplaining lead character and the sense of danger and fallibility. The determination to succeed in a male environment and the relationships that she was able to build.
I’d love to read more stories featuring this character. So good to have a female lead role and well read by Bea Holland.
Well paced action and believable characters.

What made the experience of listening to The Shout the most enjoyable?
Brilliant narration by Bea Holland which brought the characters to life.What did you like best about this story?
The author appears to have done a great deal of research into all aspects of fires, whether deliberate or accidental, and fire prevention. This is not your average subject for a novel, and differs from most of Stephen Leather's other novels, but in a good way. He describes sympathetically Vicky's injuries and how other people reacted to them.Which scene did you most enjoy?
The narrator brought the protagonist and her boss Farmer, or "Guv", to life, and the listener lived Vicky's first day at work with her as a trainee fire investigator.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Everything you wanted to know about being a firefighter.Any additional comments?
A lot of detail about fire, the culprit serial killer was pretty obvious halfway through, the plot rather predictable and the ending abrupt, but all in all it was a thought-provoking story and well worth listening to.Stephen Leather from a different angle
