Thirty million pounds were meant to go up in smoke. Instead, they disappear.When a routine incineration of withdrawn banknotes is hijacked by an organised crime gang, the perfect crime seems assured, until fate intervenes. A simple mix-up leaves newly discharged RAF serviceman Brian Murray driving away with a van full of money that was never meant to circulate again.Injured, underestimated and ordinary in every way that counts, Brian makes a single impulsive decision that changes his life forever. By the time the gang realise their mistake, the cash has vanished - and Brian has become the most hunted man in Britain.Now pursued by violent thieves who are far less clever than they believe, a furious government desperate to recover its money, and a specialist police unit with orders to bring the affair to a swift end, Brian is forced on the run. His flight across the country becomes a chaotic, darkly humorous descent into a world of brutality, unexpected romance and escalating murder.Not for Burning is a fast-paced British crime thriller packed with tension, wit and sharp observation - a gripping tale of how one wrong turn can ignite a nationwide manhunt, and how an unlikely fugitive discovers just how far he is prepared to go to survive.Book One in the Brian Murray series
