This was a particularly interesting story made even more so because of some of the writing methods. They work together to marry the profile with police work. Tony Hunt is a criminal psychologist is asked to work with Carol Jordan, a recently promoted Detective Inspector. The police superintendant is reluctant to classify these as connected to one serial murderer but is forced to do so when the DCI brings in a profiler.
He happens to be the fourth of a series of murders with similar characteristics. The story opens with the murder of a man whose body was found outside a bar in a gay district. The books were also adapted into a TV series, Wire in the Blood. Though I reluctantly decided to read this story because friends wouldn’t stop urging me to do so, it immediately became one of my most favorite series and McDermid one of my most favorite authors in the genre.
