Winner of the Gold Dagger Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Val McDermid pens mysteries heralded on both sides of the Atlantic. In Beneath the Bleeding, Dr. Tony Hill must make sense of the perplexing death of a soccer star-but the footballer's demise is only a prelude to greater violence. 'McDermid is as smooth a practitioner of crime fiction as anyone out there.' -New York Times Book Review
