Synopsis

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. Tony doesn't know when Jacko will strike, or where. All he knows is that Jacko will cause him to feel fear like he has never known before - and devastate his life in ways he cannot imagine...

Praise for Val McDermid
I love every word Val McDermid writes. If you haven't discovered her genius yet, you are in for a rare treat. --Harlan Coben
McDermid is as smooth a practitioner of crime fiction as anyone out there. [...] She's the best we've got. -- New York Times Book Review

Not in the sense of too many detailed descriptions of violence or post mortem examinations, but in what she does in entering the mind of a wholly evil, exceptionally inventive serial killer of teenage girls. -- The Times (UK)

Val McDermid...has done more to establish the Brit
