Summary
Summary
World-class crime writer Val McDermid has sold millions of copies of her books worldwide. In The Retribution, clinical psychologist Tony Hill and detective Carol Jordan face a terrifying reality: serial killer Jacko Vance has escaped imprisonment-and appears hellbent on revenge against those who put him behind bars. "Be very afraid as you meet a truly inventive serial killer. Val McDermid's 25th novel is stunningly good."-Times (UK)Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Val McDermid’s twenty-fifth novel is stunningly good, but it comes with a health warning. Not in the sense of too many detailed descriptions of violence or post mortem examinations, but in what she does in entering the mind of a wholly evil, exceptionally inventive serial killer of teenage girls…Vance is a character in the exaggerated mold of the likes of Hannibal Lector and Lisbeth Salander, and his tussle with Hill and Jordan achieves grotesque, frightening proportions.” —Times (London)
“A gripping and well-written crime thriller. If you’ve been following McDermid’s Hill/Jordon series, this new addition won’t disappoint you. And if, like me, you’re new to Val McDermid’s work, The Retribution is a good introduction.”
—Philadelphia Enquirer
“One of McDermid’s strongest efforts.” —Publishers Weekly
“For those who like script-like prose with shock after shock…McDermid is perfect.” —Booklist
