Description: For years, Val McDermid has been widely regarded as one of the premiere crime writers in the world; with "A Place of Execution", she has crafted a riveting literary thriller that will transform and elevate an entire genre.

On a freezing day in December 1963, thirteen year old Alison Carter vanishes from her village, an insular community that distrusts the outside world. George Bennett, a newly promoted inspector, must face a murder with no body, an investigation filled with dead ends, and an outcome which reverberates through the years.

Decades later, George finally tells his story to author Catherine Heathcote, but just before their book is published, he unaccountably tries to cancel the publication. George has new information that threatens the very foundations of his existence, and Catherine is forced to reinvestigate the past, with results that turn their world upside down.

A Greek tragedy in modern England, "A Place of Execution" exposes and explores the boundaries between reality and illusion in a unique, multi-layered narrative that turns all expectations on their head and reminds us that what we know is what we do not know.
