Roman policier (suspense)
Le point de vue de l'éditeur Le psychologue profileur Tony Hill a cette fois-ci affaire à un adversaire des plus retors. Un tueur insensible à la jeunesse et l'innocence, motivé par les désirs les plus pervers... Lorsqu'on retrouve le cadavre mutilé d'une adolescente, Tony et l'inspecteur en chef Carol Jordan se rendent vite compte que c'est le début d'une cruelle campagne qui prend pour cible des jeunes gens sans lien apparent. Leur assassin, tel un véritable caméléon, les rencontre sur internet, feint de partager leurs centres d'intérêts ou leurs croyances, tout ça pour les mener à une mort certaine. Aux prises avec les fantômes qui ressurgissent de son passé, Tony, écarté de l'affaire par le patron de Carol, a désespérément besoin de s'évader dans le travail. Il lutte pour trouver les bonnes réponses dans l'une des enquêtes les plus éprouvantes qu'il ait jamais menées... Maître incontesté du polar, McDermid met son héros au supplice dans ce nouvel opus. Effroyable et brillant.

Work Description
Meet Tony Hill's most twisted adversary - a killer with a shopping list of victims, a killer unmoved by youth and innocence, a killer driven by the most perverted desires ...
When teenager Jennifer Maidment's murdered and mutilated body is discovered, it is clear that there is a dangerous psychopath on the loose. But it's not long before Tony and DCI Carol Jordan realise it's just the start of a brutal and ruthless campaign targeting an apparently unconnected group of young people. Their chameleon-like killer is chatting with them online, pretending to share their interests and beliefs - and then luring them to their deaths.
But just when Tony should be at the heart of the hunt, he's pushed to the margins by Carol's cost-cutting boss and replaced by a dangerously inexperienced profiler. Struggling with the newly awakened ghosts of his own past and desperate for distraction in his work, Tony battles to find the answers that will give him personal and professional satisfaction in his most nerve-shattering investigation yet.
Psychologically gripping and relentlessly paced, 'Fever of the Bone' is the perfect introduction for those who have not yet discovered the damaged but brilliant criminal profiler Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan, best known from ITV's award-winning 'Wire in the Blood'.
