Summary
Coming to terms over her breakup with criminal profiler
Dr. Tony Hill, Chief Inspector Carol Jordan plunges into a
risky undercover sting: track down a European drug trafficker
and gain his confidence. But she's being tracked as well-by a
serial killer whose psychosexual madness is born out of the
darkest corners of history. In quiet isolation, Tony Hill is
laying to rest the scars of his past-until he's recruited
back into business on a case he can't ignore. An evil is
striking uncomfortably close to home, and casting a killer
shadow over the life of his long-time colleague and sometimes
lover. As the danger closes in, and as Tony and Carol cross
paths to navigate the terrain of a shattered human mind, they
have no one left to trust but themselves-and fear that
there's no place left to run as a killer promises to fulfill
his most twisted dreams.
Deftly merging the dark terrain of forensic psychology
with the brooding, crime-streaked world of post-Cold War
Europe, Val McDermid's
The Last Temptation is an unrivaled tour de force
that takes Tony Hill further into the mind of a killer than
he's ever dared to go before.
