The Mermaids Singing Val McDermid |
Val McDermid won a Gold Dagger Award for her first thriller to introduce criminal profiler Tony Hill, perhaps best known as the character played by Robson Green in the television adaptations The Wire in the Blood. A serial killer is brutally mutilating and torturing men in the Northern town of Bradfield, and Tony, enlisted to provide the police with an insight into a horribly twisted mind, is dragged into the very heart of the case. Alternating between the criminal investigation and the serial killer, The Mermaids Singing is a shocking and twisted narrative that is definitely not for the faint-hearted.
