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.

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.
