“McDermid is as smooth a practitioner of crime fiction as anyone out there. . . . She’s the best we’ve got.”—New York Times Book Review
Internationally best-selling crime writer Val McDermid’s work speaks for itself: her books have sold millions of copies worldwide, won numerous accolades, and attracted a devoted following of readers around the globe. Her latest, Cross and Burn, picks up where The Retribution left off: following the best crime-fighting team in the UK—clinical psychologist Tony Hill and police detective Carol Jordan—who when we last saw them were barely speaking, and whose relationship will now be challenged even further.
Guilt and grief have driven a wedge between long time crime-fighting partners psychologist Tony Hill and ex-DCI Carol Jordan. But just because they're not talking doesn't mean the killing stops.
Someone is killing women. Women who bear an unsettling resemblance to Carol Jordan. And when the evidence begins to point in a disturbing direction, thinking the unthinkable seems the only possible answer. Cornered by events, Tony and Carol are forced to fight for themselves and each other as never before.
An edge-of-your-seat page-turner from one of the best crime writers we have, Cross and Burn is a chilling, unforgettable read.
“Smooth. Confident. Deeply satisfying. What else can you say about McDermid’s writing? . . . The Jordan-Hill relationship remains the star of the show. . . . It’s a match made in heaven amid hell on earth.”—Entertainment Weekly on The Torment of Others

First of all, thank you to the author and publishers for the advance copy of this novel via netgalley. I was overjoyed to receive it as I'm a long time fan of Tony Hill and indeed all books from Ms McDermid. My beautiful Hardback copy remains on pre- order. Hey, Bookshelf OCD. Can't have a missing one from the collection...
So, the latest instalment finds Tony and Carol at odds in the aftermath of "The Retribution"..meanwhile Paula Mcintyre takes front and centre as she takes on the case of a missing friend...and also begins the hunt for a killer alongside her new Boss, someone she is not sure of. Paula can't resist getting Tony involved, this must mean that Carol will not be far behind....surely?
I'm used to a high standard from these novels - I will admit to some slight concern about what would come next, The Retribution having had such an emotive storyline for those of us who are fans of the Carol/Tony pairing...and leaving us with such huge consequences for their relationship. How could she top that I wondered? I kept the faith though and my faith was more than justified. Here we have not only a top notch mystery as usual but a wonderfully written continuation of our favourite characters ongoing story.
By cleverly giving more focus to Paula, a character I have always been inordinately fond of anyway, and for at least the first portion of the book putting Tony and Carol very much in the background of the story as it relates to the current investigation, Ms McDermid created for this reader, a thing of beauty. I was equally enthralled with the new case and with Paula's struggles to come to terms with new relationships..both personal and professional.
But here instead of bridges yet crossed and yet burned at the end of The Retribution, we will see others re-built instead.
Young Torin appears at the Bradfield Metropolitan Police to report his Mum missing, a very straight person Paula McIntyre knows. He cannot believe that his mother has left him alone for the night, 14-year old as he is. And Paula takes his claim very seriously. Because someone is brutally killing women. Women who who bear a striking resemblance to former DCI Carol Jordan - but is this the right way around?
Or is Carol Jordan simply fitting into the scheme of the abducter and later on also killer of a certain type of woman he wants to punish? Punish for what? For being a bad wife? He certainly is looking for a GOOD wife...
This is a killer unparalleled until now, inflicting really grotesque punishments on the women he captures. As the case becomes more complex Paula contacts ex-DCI Carol Jordan to try and save the current - and maybe future - victims.
On the other side Tony Hill is full of guilt pangs because he didn't foresee the turn the killer Jacko Vance would take - killing Carols brother and his wife...
And other crimes he committed on his revenge campaign, finished only by him killed by a designated victim...
But the new DCI Fielding, a woman spurred by an insane ambition, isn't very fond of Paula using her skills to solve the case in her own way, helped by other very able persons who worked with Carol Jordan in the old MIT group.
And in her aberrant and blind ambition she takes out the most unexpected person as her designed culprit...
