In the new installment to her historical crime series that began
with 1979, internationally bestselling author Val McDermid delivers
a propulsive new thriller that finds journalist Allie Burns has
become an editor, and as the Cold War and AIDS crisis deliver a
nonstop tide of news, most of it bad, a story falls into her lap.
And then there's a murder. Hailed as Britain's Queen of Crime, Val
McDermid's award-winning, internationally bestselling novels have
captivated readers for more than thirty years. In her Allie Burns
series, she returns to the past--both ours and in some ways her
own--with the story of a female journalist whose stories lead her
into world of corruption, terror, and murder. It's 1989 and Allie
Burns is back. Older and maybe wiser, she's running the northern
news operation of the Sunday Globe, chafing at losing her role in
investigative journalism and at the descent into the gutter of the
UK tabloid media. But there's plenty to keep her occupied. The year
begins with the memorial service for the victims of the bombing of
Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, but Allie has barely
filed her copy when she stumbles over a story about HIV/AIDS that
will shock her into a major change of direction. The world of
newspapers is undergoing a revolution, there's skullduggery in the
medical research labs and there are seismic rumblings behind the
Iron Curtain. When murder is added to this potent mix, Allie is
forced to question all her old certainties. Readers are having a
great time time-traveling with Val, and 1989 is a seamless,
riveting novel that brings us once again face to face with how very
much past is prologue, and how history's sins stay with us.
