Book Description:
THE VOICE SEEPS LIKE BLOOD...
Two years ago, Derek Tyler confessed to a sickening quartet of murders. Now the convicted perpetrator remains locked away, as do the gruesome, inimitable details of his crimes, which is precisely why this can’t possibly be happening all over again—but it is.
 
SOOTHING, CAJOLING, PRAISING, COMMANDING...
One by one, mutilated corpses are turning up, each marked by the unmistakable calling card of the same warped killer. Still shattered in the wake of her own unbearable trauma, Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan is called in to make sense of the implausible scenario, with criminal psychologist Tony Hill on hand to complicate matters at every turn.
 
AS IMPOSSIBLE TO SILENCE AS IT IS TO DEFY.
As a seasoned profiler, Tony is convinced that the new murders aren’t the work of a copycat killer. Together, he and Carol prowl the mist-shrouded alleyways of tawdry Temple Fields, tracking a cunning serial killer who seems to be safely locked away yet somehow simultaneously on the loose, preparing to strike again...

An excellent addition to the Tony Hill series, which is now featured on the BBC Amercia "Wire in the Blood" program. Very well written, and just convoluted enough, with even the main characters just disturbed and twisted enough, to make this a great read.

A must read! You can't put it down. A murder mystery about a serial killer who is locked up, and yet his MO is being repeated. How can this be?

Val McDermid is a wonderful author, but this particular one seems not to be as strong as some of her previous books.

Full of both suspense and well developed characters, this is the fourth novel featuring Detective Carol Jordan and criminal psychologist, Tony Hill. Hard to put this one down as they race to find a cunning and brutal serial killer.
