For Tony Hill, with the help of Carol Jordan, and his now team of three this has become a highly personal search for the truth. a b Wroe, Nicholas (12 August 2011). "Val McDermid: a life in writing". The Guardian . Retrieved 29 May 2019. This one gave me pause for thought: "One of the less obvious effects of austerity has been the increase in the numbers of the visible vulnerable. For predators, it's been a gift-wrapped opportunity to expand their choice of victims."

This is the 11th book in the Hill/Jordan series. Tony Hill has been incarcerated and is slowly finding who to trust and who to steer clear of in prison. His days are filled with his writing if a new book and of a program to possibly bring a ray of hope to other prisoners. Carol has been dismissed (thrown out) of any and all police duties. A new path in her life arrives in the form of a most unlikely individual. Brownwen Scott, the defense council and Carol's former opponent in the courtroom trials, has a proposition for Carol and it appears to be a new horizon on Carol's future. Tony & Carol have spent years delving into the psyche of serial killers to form profiles/patterns. Young girls have been vanishing across the country with no apparent reason. Each appeared to be well adjusted in a happy home with their parents. Where to look first and who to question? Spending time with the parents of the missing girls may lead them to interests held in people, places and possible future careers.

After the explosive ending of the 10th Tony Hill and Carol Jordan novel, Insidious Intent, I could not wait for this book. I adore this series and all of these characters. I feel personally invested in them and need them to succeed.McDermid was inducted into the prestigious Detection Club in 2000, and won the CWA Diamond Dagger for her lifetime contribution to crime writing in the English language in 2010.
