McDermid, Val The Distant Echo
HarperCollins Publishers Can 2004 0-00-639306-3 / 9780006393061 Paperback Good+
This absorbing psychological novel of revenge shows British author McDermid (A Place of Execution) at the top of her form. In part one, set in 1978 in St. Andrews, Scotland, four drunken male students, friends since childhood , stumble over the raped and stabbed body of a dying woman, Rosie Duff, whi le staggering home through a snow storm. Though her violent brothers are co nvinced of their guilt, no one is charged with Rosie's murder. In part two, 25 years later, the police hope new forensic technologies will solve the c rime, and suddenly someone is stalking the four men, whose lives have been haunted and their relationships changed by the murder. Two die, supposedly by accident, and the remaining pair, Alex Gilbey and Tom Mackie, must find out what happened before they're killed, too. James Lawson, an assistant ch ief constable who was a junior cop in 1978, wants to close the case and ave nge the death of his admired superior, DI Barney Maclennan, who fell from a cliff during the initial inquiry. When Graham Macfadyen, who claims he's R osie's illegitimate son and also seeking revenge, contacts Lawson, the inve stigation takes a startling turn. Only the careful reader will anticipate t he stunning conclusion, which makes perfect sense. Outstanding pacing, char acter and plot development, plus evocative place descriptions, make this an other winner.
