Val McDermid brings British crime fiction’s favourite odd couple, Carol Jordan and Tony Hill, back for their ninth outing, but things are different. Jordan is no longer a DCI and Hill hardly speaks to her while she shuts herself away restoring an old barn.

What’s new is that they have to explore the complex and sometimes fatal world of internet trolls and cyber bullying. You can read more here.
