"McDermid is as smooth a practitioner of crime fiction as anyone out there....She's the best we've got."

--New York Times Book Review

A winner of the Gold Dagger Award, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and an Edgar® Award nominee--a New York Times Notable author whose writing Entertainment Weekly calls, "smooth, confident, deeply satisfying,"--Val McDermid is a crime fiction force of nature. And Fever of the Bone is among her best.
