Val McDermid
Dr. Tony Hill and Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan return in the award-winning series that is the basis for the ITV television show Wire in the Blood.
In a small grim room, the body of a woman is discovered, panic and pain etched in her face. The scene matches in every detail a series of murders two years ago-murders that ended when irrefutable forensic evidence secured the conviction of a deeply disturbed young man named Derek Tyler.
But there's no way Tyler could have killed the latest victim. He's been locked up in a mental institution since his trial, barely speaking a word. So is there a copycat?
All his years of experience tell top criminal psychologist Dr. Tony Hill that there isn't-but that would make the murders literally impossible. While Hill tries to crack Tyler, DCI Carol Jordan and her team must mount a desperate undercover operation to trap the murderer-a decision that will have terrible consequences.
In The Torment of Others, Val McDermid keeps the tension mounting, as a mixture of psychological insight and dogged detective work leads inexorably to a terrifying climax where Tony faces one of the most perverse killers he has ever encountered.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Those who thought McDermid had exceeded herself with the brilliant and provocative The Distant Echo are going to be stunned by its sequel.... This is one series where you wait eagerly for the next installment.” —Globe and Mail
“It is hard to know what to praise first here: the impeccable plotting or the sharp social relevance of the narrative (a McDermid specialty). Most of all, though, it's the relationship between her two central characters that makes The Torment of Others work so well.” —Daily Express
“McDermid is unusual in her ability to keep the suspense high while constructing social mysteries that are far-ranging in their implications…McDermid brings to her mysteries an unusual capacity for compassion, both for victims and for the detectives whose lives are shattered tracking down the killers.” —Booklist, starred review

Mc Dermid does it again

Merrick as been promoted, and the first case he draws is a missing child that goes unsolved. When a second boy is taken, he wishes D.I. Jordan were still there and asks himself what she'd do in his place. Bring in profiler and psychologist, Tony Hill, that's what. While Merrick makes the request, his boss, Brandon, is also thinking about D.I. Jordan. About how he'd like to see Bradfield have a crack murder squad of its own with Carol Jordan at the head.
I am constantly struck by McDermid's obvious research. These books are brutally realistic, and this one sees one of the good guys in heart-wrenching danger. This isn't the kind of book you love. It's the kind of story that takes you places you want no other avenue into and intrigues.
Gritty, as always

What would have made The Torment of Others better?
I would NEVER have wasted a credit on this if I new it was an abridged edition (and not a well done one either). My error and it won't happen again.Don't Do It!
