The Torment of Others
by Val McdermidClinical psychologist Dr Tony Hill and Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan face the toughest challenge of their careers when they are confronted with an 'impossible' series of murders. Back in Bradfield after her traumatic experiences in Berlin, Carol is surprised to find Tony has followed her there to take up a post in the local secure mental hospital. When a prostitute is murdered in a particularly grotesque and stomach-churning way, she turns to him for help. Bizarrely, this killing matches in every detail a series of murders that took place a couple of years previously. A series of murders for which Derek Tyler was tried, convicted and sentenced. There has never been any doubt about his guilt. But now the ghost of his crimes has risen again. A second prostitute murder soon follows and the team are struggling. While Tony tries to crack Tyler, the police decide to mount an undercover operation that goes horribly wrong.
Tormenta (Jeremy Logan #Volumen 1)
by Lincoln ChildEl doctor Crane está a punto de verse inmerso en un asunto escalofriante, en el que la ciencia puntera se confunde con las pesadillas más siniestras... y quizá no totalmente imposibles. Una plataforma petrolera del Atlántico Norte solicita urgentemente la ayuda de un médico, el doctor Peter Crane. Este, al llegar, se encuentra con un panorama desolador: un gran número de trabajadores sufren una confusa variedad de síntomas extraños. A pesar de que no consigue un diagnóstico claro, las investigaciones del doctor Crane revelan datos asombrosos. La plataforma se levanta sobre una estructura de muchos niveles habitada por científicos y técnicos que se dedican a un proyecto ultrasecreto: localizar e investigar los restos de una antigua y sofisticada civilización, la legendaria Atlántida. Para ello se ha construido un laboratorio dotado de la más avanzada tecnología, que les permite penetrar en la corteza terrestre hasta más de tres kilómetros de profundidad. Este proyecto podría hacer emerger de las profundidades abismales del océano el mayor descubrimiento arqueológico de la historia... o quizás el más terrorífico. Clive Cussler ha dicho...«Child narra su historia con estilo y capacidad de fascinar. El suspense está perfectamente creado. Una historia submarina original y que deja huella.»

Reilly soon suspects that she may be dealing with a killer - or killers - who know all about crime scene investigation. The police are just as frustrated by the crimes' impenetrable nature and it's only when a third murder occurs - equally graphic and elaborate in its execution - that they discover that this particular killer is using a very specific blueprint for his crimes. Who is the killer's next victim, the real target? And what's his endgame?
