Fever of the Bone - Val McDermid

Meet Tony Hill’s most twisted adversary – a killer unmoved by youth and innocence, a killer driven by the most perverted desires …

When a teenager’s murdered and mutilated body is discovered, it is clear that there is a dangerous psychopath on the loose. But it’s not long before Tony and DCI Carol Jordan realise it’s just the start of a brutal campaign that’s targeting an apparently unconnected group of young people. Their chameleon-like killer is chatting with them online, pretending to share their interests and beliefs – and then luring them to their deaths..

Psychologically gripping and relentlessly paced, Fever of the Bone is the perfect introduction for those who have not yet discovered the damaged but brilliant criminal profiler Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan, best known from ITV’s award-winning Wire in the Blood.
