Özet
 The second thrilling novel in Val McDermid's new Sunday Times best-selling series

It's 1989, and Allie Burns is back.

Older and maybe wiser, she's running the northern news operation of the Sunday Globe, chafing at losing her role in investigative journalism and at the descent into the gutter of the UK tabloid media.

But there's plenty to keep her occupied. The year begins with the memorial service to the victims of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, but Allie has barely filed her copy when she stumbles over a story about HIV/AIDS that will shock her into a major change of direction.

The world of newspapers is undergoing a revolution, there's skulduggery in the medical research labs and there are seismic rumblings behind the Iron Curtain. When kidnap and murder are added to this potent mix, Allie is forced to question all her old certainties.

En alakalı
I found this storyline less gripping than 1979. It might have been partly due to the narrator - very monotonous and so quiet that I had to turn the volume up full at times.
I also got the characters muddled up.
Much prefer the narrator in the Karen Pirie series.

Not her best

Great narrator! Gripping story and really connected with the characters.
Really enjoyable, at times emotional, mix of fiction and fact, made the book difficult to pause. Every time I had to stop, I felt I was waiting for my next quiet moment to be able to pick it up again.

Couldn't put it down!

The predictable characters, the lecturing and the clunky dialogue could have been forgiven if the story had been worth it. But it wasn’t. All over the place. Not helped by a narrator whose accents were patchy. Disappointing.

Overrated

Great 3rd act twist
seemed a lot crammed in with Hillsborough, HIV, Berlin Wall, murder etc but a good distraction from life

classic Val

This book is very good although I didn't like the lesbian side! But the Narrator
was very, very good.

Great book
