  Psychologist Tony Hill and ex-DCI Carol Jordan—the UK crime fighting partners from the TV series Wire in the Blood—face down a serial killer.   International bestselling crime writer Val McDermid’s work speaks for itself: her books have sold millions of copies worldwide, won numerous accolades, and attracted a devoted following of readers around the globe.  Cross and Burn picks up where The Retribution left off: following the best crime-fighting team in the UK—clinical psychologist Tony Hill and police detective Carol Jordan—who when we last saw them were barely speaking, and whose relationship will now be challenged even further. But just because they’re not talking doesn’t mean the killing stops.   Women are being murdered—ones who bear an unsettling resemblance to Carol Jordan. And when the evidence begins to point in a disturbing direction, thinking the unthinkable seems the only possible answer. Cornered by events, Tony and Carol are forced to fight for themselves and each other as never before.   “McDermid is as smooth a practitioner of crime fiction as anyone out there . . . She’s the best we’ve got.” —The New York Times Book Review

  To find out if a recurring murder-dream has come true, she agrees to investigate the death of a matchmaker who'd rubbed Quinn the wrong way. 
   
   
   
  Fortunately, this case comes with perks—a resort vacation and maybe even true love—as Quinn and Toni go undercover as participants in a matchmaking competition. 
   
   
   
  With romance in the air, it's hard not to get caught up. Or maybe not, because Quinn is perfectly happy with her single life. Isn't she? There's little time for that debate. She has a killer to catch. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately, the deeper they dig, the more dirt they find. 
   
   
   
  Between two competing matchmakers at war with each other, a prankster ghost with his own agenda, and a jilted boyfriend behaving like the king of charm, the sleuths have much to unravel—so why is Toni getting distracted? And why is Quinn the target of nasty gossip and threats? 
   
   
   
  Quinn's delusions grow as fast as her topsy-turvy love life. Is she up for the challenge? Or will she retreat to her cafe where life is cozy, predictable, and safe?
