The Last Temptation: A Novel (Dr. Tony Hill & Carol Jordan Mysteries)

About this book

Mapping the minds of murderers is what Dr. Tony Hill does better than anyone. So when a twisted killer starts targeting psychologists across Northern Europe Hill is the obvious choice to track the executioners mental and physical journey. Except that Tony still bearing the scars of past cases doesnt want to do this anymore. But the killer is about to strike uncomfortably close to home. The next victim is a friend and colleague. And Tonys former partner Detective Carol Jordan is directly in the murderers path working undercover in a world where human life means less than the smallest drug deal. She needs Tonys help as much as the beleaguered European police officials do. Now the danger is closing in. Confronting the worst of modern crime and struggling to unravel roots that lie deep in the tormented past of Nazi atrocities and Stasi abuses Tony and Carol are forced to battle for survival against overwhelming odds. In this morass of double-cross and double-dealing they have no one to trust but each other. Deftly merging the dark terrain of forensic psychology with the brooding crime-streaked world of post-Cold War Europe Val McDermids The Last Temptation is an unrivaled tour de force that takes Tony Hill further into the mind of a killer than hes ever dared to go before.
