Out Of Bounds

Val McDermid, Little, Brown, £18.99

Bestselling author Val McDermid returns with what is arguably the Scot’s most spine-chilling tale to date. This gripping hardback follows the aftermath of a teenage joyrider’s car crash and a routine DNA test that could solve a twenty-year-old murder inquiry. But getting to the bottom of this cold case is as tortuous as the DNA helix itself. It’s McDermid’s 30th novel, and it’s yet another cracker.
