Psychotherapist Harry Hope is walking home one evening when he is stabbed. At first it looks random, but the police soon discover that every victim in a string of seemingly unrelated attacks has a connection to Harry. His name is on a death list.
Cold Echo teams Harry with his old friends DI Theo McCannon and DS Libby Harding as they try to identify a calculating killer working through a list of targets. Carver uses Harry’s profession to add psychological depth to the investigation, since a therapist’s past clients make for a long and complicated suspect pool.
Deep Black Lies continues the partnership between Harry and the two detectives. Carver builds the series around the contrast between Harry’s clinical understanding of human behavior and the brutal reality of the crimes he gets caught up in.
