Leaving her new home in California for a trade union conference in Sheffield, Lindsay Gordon finds herself in the company of old friends - and enemies, including Tom Jack. When this unethical union leader is found dead, having plunged from Lindsay's tenth-floor hotel room, she is taken in for questioning by the police. Hoping to clear her name by finding the real killer, Lindsay searches among hundreds of unruly union delegates for a murderer who may have struck once before.
Along the way she uncovers a seething cauldron of blackmail, corruption and power abuse, all brought to the boil by her investigation.

Biographie de V. L. McDermid

Val McDermid grew up in Kirkcaldy on the east coast of Scotland, then read English at Oxford. She was a journalist for sixteen years, spending the last three years as Northern Bureau Chief of a national Sunday tabloid. Now a full-time writer, she divides her time between Cheshire and Northumberland. Union Jack is the fourth of six novels featuring journalist-sleuth Lindsay Gordon (the fifth, Booked for Murder, was shortlisted for the Lambda award).
Val is also the author of the Kate Brannigan series and four tense psychological thrillers featuring criminal profiler Tony Hill. The first of these, The Mermaids Singing, was awarded the 1995 Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel of the Year, while the second, The Wire in the Blood, lends its name to the acclaimed ITV series featuring Robson Green as Tony Hill. She has also written three stand-alone thrillers: A Place of Execution, Killing the Shadows and The Distant Echo.
