About this listen

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)

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

Loved it

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

Narrator lets it down

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