It’s almost four years since I first ‘met’ the fabulous G. D. Wright and you’ll find a post here when we stayed in together. It has been my pleasure to meet Gaz in real life since, as not only his writing has gone from strength to strength, but he’s a smashing man as well as brilliant author. That early book has been revised and rebranded as After the Storm. You’ll find my review of After the Storm here.
Since then, life has been a real roller coaster for Gaz and many of you will know that he is currently in hospital, having been extremely ill for several weeks. Consequently, he has been unable to promote his brand new thriller Into the Fire which is out today and I wanted to support both the wonderful man and the wonderful book by sharing this spotlight.
I have actually chosen Into the Fire as one of my featured books for The People’s Friend magazine June Bookshelf and my mini-review will be in next week’s issue out on 11th June.
I can tell you that Into the Fire is the typical G. D. Wright blend of breath-taking plot, thrilling events and deep, deep emotion and humanity so that there really is something for every reader between its pages.
Into the Fire is published by Harper Collins imprint Avon today, 5th June 2025, and is available for purchase through the publisher links here.
Into the Fire
HE RUNS INTO THE FLAMES A HERO.
Steve thought he had left his troubled past behind. Living a quiet life with his wife and children, everything changes the night he rescues a baby from a burning house, becoming an unexpected national hero.
HE EMERGES FROM THE ASHES A SUSPECT.
But as the spotlight shines brighter, so does the scrutiny, and a shocking accusation is made – that Steve is the man responsible for an unsolved murder in Beachbrook years prior.
BUT WHICH ONE IS HE REALLY?
As his world unravels, public opinion is firmly divided. Steve pleads his innocence, but DS Sue Willmott is determined to get to the bottom of what really happened all those years ago.
After all, even heroes hide secrets of their own.

About G. D. Wright
Gary Wright joined Kent Police at the age of 18 and worked in a variety of uniformed roles. At the age of 29, and completely out of the blue, he suffered two cardiac arrests that led to the diagnosis of a life limiting and incurable disease of the heart. Following the implant of an internal defibrillator in his heart, he was unable to continue policing and retired at the age of 30.
He bought a coffee shop in Ramsgate Harbour, and spent years looking out over the sea and dreaming up stories. He now writes full time, committing those very stories to paper.
After the Storm was Gary’s 2024 debut and is now followed by Into the Fire.
