Gideon's Fire

Gideon's Fire follows Commander George Gideon of Scotland Yard during a period when multiple major crimes erupt across London at once. The crisis begins when Police Constable Jarvis discovers a tenement fire while on patrol near the Old Kent Road. Jarvis rescues a young girl from the burning building before collapsing from his injuries, but an entire family dies in the blaze. As investigators examine the fire, Gideon begins to suspect it is connected to a larger pattern of crimes unfolding across the city.

At the same time, Gideon and his detectives are confronted with the rape and murder of fourteen-year-old Ivy Manson, a series of other violent crimes, a bank robbery, fraud investigations, and reports of a possible serial killer. As the cases multiply, Gideon must coordinate a massive police effort while trying to uncover whether the deadly fire is an isolated tragedy or part of something far more sinister.
