Then, McAvoy and DS Trish Pharaoh are distracted by something deadlier: a serial murderer with a taste for the macabre. McAvoy comes to suspect these are actually copycat murders, committed as revenge for mishandled police investigations conducted years ago. But when one of McAvoy’s fellow police officers is blackmailed, McAvoy’s life—and that of his wife, Roisin, and the couple’s two young children—is suddenly in jeopardy. As the vicious monsters lurking in the shadows creep closer and closer to home, McAvoy must figure out a way to protect his family at all costs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDavid Mark’s latest Detective Sergeant McAvoy novel, CRUEL MERCY, is on-sale February 2017.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReview\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Each McAvoy novel has been dark, but\u003cbr\u003e\nSorrow Bound goes beyond dark to near-apocalyptic. Mark pulls it off, though, and fans of the giant Scottish detective will lose sleep reading this one.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nBooklist (starred review)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n “Mark adroitly weaves all these threads together during a sweltering Hull summer full of lowering clouds but no rain, ‘a feverish heat; a pestilent, buzzing cloak.’ The physically imposing Aector, a terrific lead, hews closely to the rules. Well-fleshed out supporting characters round out the cast.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nPublishers Weekly (starred review)\u003cbr\u003e\n “McAvoy is a sure bet for fans of dark crime fiction set in Britain. Mark is particularly skilled at brief, effective characterization and at establishing an ominous, suspense-ridden setting in which his hero must struggle to reconcile his concept of justice and his admirable integrity with the evil that men do. VERDICT: A satisfying read-alike for fans of Peter Robinson or Val McDermid.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nLibrary Journal \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n “Compelling characters and a knotty mystery make the third from Mark (\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal Skin, 2013, etc.) stand out from other procedurals.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nKirkus Reviews \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPRAISE FOR ORIGINAL SKIN \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Dark, disturbing and gripping… Graced with a complex plot and stunning imagery, \u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal Skin stands as a worthy successor to Mark's debut, \u003cbr\u003e\nThe Dark Winter….

Sgt. Aector McAvoy. Mark expertly brings together two seemingly unrelated investigations while weaving in McAvoy’s devotion to his young family and sensitivity to the Roma background of his wife, Roison, whose extended family becomes involved in his inquiries. Fans of John Harvey and Peter James will find much to like.”\u003cbr\u003e\n—Publishers Weekly (starred review) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“A dark and nasty police story with strongly drawn characters, an unsettling story, a twisty plot, and a surprising ending… Snap it up.” \u003cbr\u003e\n–Examiner.com \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“McAvoy’s second is an excellent police procedural featuring sex, violence, and complex characters who are quirky but likable.”\u003cbr\u003e\n—Kirkus \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Readers will immediately be drawn to the compelling, contradictory personality of McAvoy.
