The new Val McDermid is published today in NZ and her numerous fans here will be delighted

The unforgettable, gripping new Tony Hill and Carol Jordan novel by one of the world’s best crime writers.

There is one serial killer who has shaped and defined police profiler Tony Hill's life. One serial killer whose evil surpasses all others. One serial killer who has the power to chill him to the bone: Jacko Vance.

 And now Jacko is back in Tony's life. Even more twisted and cunning than ever before, he is focused on wreaking revenge on Tony - and DCI Carol Jordan - for the years he has spent in prison.

Gripping and chilling (huge understatement) and whether you are already a McDermid fan or not, if you enjoy crime fiction then don't miss this one. Not to be read alone at night!
