Textul de pe ultima copertă

He is psychologist and criminal profiler Dr. Tony Hill’s worst nightmare—a killer driven by the most perverted hungers and unmoved by youth and innocence, a killer with a long shopping list of victims who leaves no trail. The murder-mutilation of teenager Jennifer Maidment is horrific enough on its own, but Hill quickly realizes that it’s just the beginning of a chilling campaign targeting an apparently unconnected group of young people—victims that the monster has been grooming through a social networking site.
It is a case that is reawakening ghosts of Tony Hill’s past. And the longer it takes to uncover a motive and a maniac, the more innocent youth will die.

'No-one can plot or tell a story like she can. The hairs on my neck literally stood up' Daily Express
'So gripping it puts your life on hold' The Times

'You should have been a detective. If there's one thing the last year has proved, it's how good you are at finding things out. Things that are buried so deep nobody even thinks twice about them. The sort of things that turn people's lives inside out once they're exposed.'


Meet Tony Hill's most twisted adversary - a killer with a shopping list of victims, a killer unmoved by youth and innocence, a killer driven by the most perverted of desires.

The murder and mutilation of teenager Jennifer Maidment is horrific enough on its own. But it's not long before Tony realises it's just the start of a brutal and ruthless campaign that's targeting an apparently unconnected group of young people.

Struggling with the newly awakened ghosts of his own past and desperate for distraction in his work, Tony battles to find the answers that will give him personal and professional satisfaction in his most testing investigation yet . . .

A shocking, nail-biting Tony Hill and Carol Jordan thriller from the number one bestseller.

Recenzii

So gripping that it puts your life on hold.
She is the real mistress of psychological gripping thrillers; no-one can plot or tell a story like she can. The hairs on my neck literally stood up.
McDermid remains unrivalled at yoking chilling scenarios to a pulsing narrative; and Hill's torment is palpable in this scary, dark thriller. Brilliant
Everything a great detective novel should be: pacy, gripping, clever and stylish and, most of all, a fantastic read.
Another cracker in the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series from the most imaginative creator of serial killers we have.
Gripping, well-written, nail-biting stuff
One of our finest crime writers.
A moving novel, not just a gripping one.
As good a psychological thriller as it is possible to get.
McDermid's mastery of this genre is evident, particularly in her dialogue, in which there is rarely a false note.
McDermid's books are getting better and better...an absorbing novel of character.
...reminds us just how finely plotted and intelligently written McDermid's novels are. More please - and soon.
