Val McDermid

Tony Hill and Carol Jordan Series

Best of British Crime: Wire in the Blood

The world and minds of serial killers are the business of Dr Tony Hill and Detective Inspector Carol Jordan.

In this British series the grit and gore of serial killing are portrayed as our investigators seek to understand, anticipate and capture the killers.

McDermid is one of the leading lights in this field, she examines the minds and compulsions of the prey and those who seek them.

Dr Tony Hill and Carol Jordan are flawed heroes who must triumph over themselves as well as the killers.

This series was the inspiration for the popular television series Wire in the Blood.
