Publisher's Summary

Professor Fiona Cameron is a psychologist who uses computer technology to track serial offenders. She vowed never to work for the Met again after they went against her advice and screwed up an investigation as a result.

But when her lover, thriller writer Kit Martin, tells her a fellow crime novelist has been murdered, Fiona can’t help taking an interest. With the killer striking again, Fiona is caught in a race against time.

Critic Reviews

"Dark, clever and timely." ( Scotland on Sunday)
"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." ( Express)

Loved it

Great story, with lots of twists and turns. Keep me guessing you’re near the end. Great narrator.

Crime god

A fantastic work. It's a story within the story of sorts, sheer brilliance and why Val McDermid is not just the queen of crime but a god of the genre

Narrator lets it down

Good story and characters, holds tension to the end. Let down by parts of the narration.
