Someone is brutally killing women. Women who bear a striking resemblance to former DCI Carol Jordan. The connection is too strong to ignore and soon psychological profiler Tony Hill finds himself dangerously close to the investigation, just as the killer is closing in on his next target.
This is a killer like no other, hell-bent on inflicting the most severe and grotesque punishment on his prey. As the case becomes ever-more complex and boundaries begin to blur, Tony and Carol must work together once more to try and save the victims, and themselves.
A breathless, thrilling mystery from the number one bestseller.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this seriously creepy crime novel, a deeply disturbed man is on the hunt for a new “wife” to keep captive in his home. Investigators Tony Hill and Carol Jordan—whom you may recognise from Wire in the Blood, the TV series inspired by McDermid’s novels—team up again to stop this serial killer.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McDermid's fiendishly clever eighth novel featuring forensic psychologist Tony Hill and detective Carol Jordan (after The Retribution) finds the two partners on the outs. Jordan has resigned from the Bradfield, England, police force and taken up a labor-intensive DIY job. Hill is still struggling with the events that have driven Jordan from his life. Meanwhile, Det. Sgt. Paula McIntyre, who formerly served with Jordan, catches two cases one involving a missing person, the other a vicious murder that together engulf her both personally and professionally. A psychopath is intent on kidnapping and training the perfect wife and beating to death and disfiguring his "mistakes." When McIntyre's decision to seek help from Hill takes a drastic, unexpected turn, she's forced to turn to the reclusive Jordan instead. The villain may be a mere foil, but the ingenious way in which he tests the mettle of Hill and Jordan is not to be missed by fans of the unusual sleuthing duo.
