About this listen

The seventh book in the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series.

Murdered people don't kill themselves. A quiet night on a country road. The stillness shattered by a car engulfed in flames, and a burned body discovered in the driver's seat. As the investigation unfolds, DCI Carol Jordan and psychological profiler. Tony Hill quickly realise that this is more than just a tragic accident. And so begins the hunt for a truly terrifying killer, someone who believes he is invisible, untraceable and untouchable. As other victims are found to have met the same terrible fate, and with more women at risk, Tony and Carol are drawn into a dark and twisted web of fear and revenge that will force them to question their own ideas of justice.

Critic reviews

"One of the most surprising twists you'll read this year. Outstanding." (Irish Independent)

"Engrossing...a colossal reminder of just why McDermid has been the queen of crime for three decades." (Heat)

Fantastic

Always enjoy these books. I love the characters. Bit of a funny ending though

Another good one

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The plot and the motives were very good. However, I found it a struggle to persevere with it because the narrator lacked authenticity. His Received Pronunciation was boring and his characterisation of voices made every character sound very old. Simply the wrong voice for this book.

A great story but a poor performance

I really struggled with the narrator, I found his delivery very slow and it detracted from my enjoyment of the story. He made all the male characters sound like old men.

Poor narrator
