When a city's heroes become its boldest criminals . . .
For years the firefighters of New York's Engine 99 have rushed fearlessly into hot zones, saving countless lives and stopping devastating blazes in their tracks.
They've also stolen millions from banks, jewellery stores and art galleries. With their inside knowledge and specialist equipment, they've become the most successful heist crew on the East Coast.
Their newest member, Andrea 'Andy' Nearland, is not what she seems either. She's an undercover operative, hunting the men of Engine 99 for a host of crimes - including the murder of an off-duty cop and the disappearance of a mother and child.
As the clock counts down to the gang's most daring heist yet, loyalties begin to fray and mistrust boils over. Andy's career is all smoke and mirrors, but infiltrating this crew of 'heroes' might prove to be her most dangerous job of all . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Thriller veteran Candice Fox channels Point Break in this hard-bitten crime saga about an undercover cop who gains the confidence of a tight-knit crew of New York City firefighters. Why? Because they’ve been exploiting the sheer force and distraction of their day jobs to pull off daring heists around the city, hitting banks and galleries alike. The book opens with Andy Nearland standing accused of treachery while trying to maintain her cover, before the action winds back a few months to depict the crew in their prime. Andy’s only hope might just be the person who brought her into this inner circle—and now stands to lose as much as she does. Narrated with gritty intensity by Tony Alvarez and Katherine Beck, Devil’s Kitchen is a nail-biting urban potboiler from Australia’s well-established master of the form.
