Val McDermid A Suitable Job for a Woman: Inside the World of Private Eyes
Poisoned Pen Press 1999 1890208159 / 9781890208158 Paperback New
"Brand New, Paperback, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases, edge has a small spot “But down these mean streets must go a man who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished or afraid. ” When Raymond Chandler wrote these words in his classic The Simple Art of Murder, he drew a blueprint for the male private eyes who descend from Philip Marlowe to populate the world of crime fiction. But what if the private eye is a woman? And what if she is not a character in a novel but a real, working investigator testing not only the meanness but the absurdity of life on seamy streets? Who will tell her story? Enter Manchester’s Val McDermid, herself a skilled writer of the P. I. Novel but for years a professional journalist. In an effort to plumb the real world of working women—and throw new light on her own craft—she has interviewed women private eyes from both sides of the Atlantic and assembled their stories with an eye for the absurd and a keen grasp of the gritty nuts and bo...

Val McDermid The Distant Echo
Harpercollins Canada 2003 0006393055 / 9780006393054 Paperback New
"Brand New, Paperback, clean, tight, unmarked, no cover or spine creases() Val McDermid's The Distant Echo is, even more so than with her previous work, a masterpiece of trickery and misdirection. In 1978, four male students find the body of Rosie Duff half-buried in the snow and their lives are variously damaged by the suspicion that falls on them when the murder is never solved: a quarter of a century later, the case is reopened and suddenly the quartet start to be killed one after the other. This is an effective thriller because it is so intelligent about the ways in which time changes things--secrets that seemed important become trivial and investigative techniques become ever more accurate. It is also intelligent about the ways in which things do not change--the friendships of the four men persist even when one becomes a fundamentalist preacher and another a post-modern literary theorist. Unusually for McDermid, this is a very Scots book as well--the investigating officers Mac ID: mon0000015684"

Minotaur Books 2002 0312983654 / 9780312983659 Mass Market Paperback Good
"'() Across the country, dozens of teenage girls have vanished. Authorities are convinced they're runaways with just the bad luck of the draw to connect them. It's the job of criminal profilers Dr. Tony Hill and Carol Jordan to look for a pattern. They've spent years exploring the psyches of madmen. But sane men kill, too. And when they hide in plain sight, they can be difficult to find... He's handsome and talented, rich and famous--a notorious charmer with the power to seduce...and the will to destroy. No one can believe what he's capable of. No one can imagine what he's already done. And no one can fathom what he's about to do next. Until one of Hill's students is murdered--the first move in a sick and violent game for three players. Now, of all the killers Hill and Jordan have hunted, none has been so ruthless, so terrifyingly clever, and so brilliantly elusive as the killer who's hunting them...'''' ID: mon0000087663"
