Wildefire

Do wrong, you get done, simple as. Gail Wilde is an average policewoman, but one who lives up to her nickname, ‘Wildefire’ – and in the precarious world of modern policing, being wild or full of fire is hardly likely to be appropriate for the job in hand . . . Suspicions surrounding Gail’s professional conduct reach fever pitch when a fellow officer is involved in a serious incident on the beat. Conspiracy theories and rumours are rife – not only at work but at home too – and a cycle of accusations and recrimination ensues, spiralling out of control. Roy Williams’s riveting thriller looks at the maelstrom of urban policing, and the mental and physical impact it has on the people we rely on to keep the peace. This edition published to coincide with the world premiere at Hampstead Theatre, London.
