Tony Hill hero found happily (the helpless and disturbed profiler) and Carol Jordan (now ispecteur leader). Tony Hill faces a teenage kidnapper (which we never found the bodies). Beside that, Carol Jordan faces an arsonist.
Tony Hill, now the head of a national cell profiling, will have to train police officers, handpicked to become profilers. Their first case is this kidnapping case. One of the students, Shaz Bowman, a certainty as the culprit, who happens to be a serial killer. Trouble is a TV star, whose life turns out to be completely false. And she will pay dearly for these certainties.
This novel lives up to expectations. Only problem, the end is disappointing because it leaves the door open to a lot of assumptions. But for all the fans of Mc Dermid, this book is a must read. Suspense and surprises await you.
