David Mark's many years as a crime reporter in the UK's historic port city of Hull have provided him with darkly tinted lenses with which to peer through as a crime novelist. Luckily, his Hull-based fictional detective Aector McAvoy, a gentle-giant transplant from the highlands of Scotland who's been on the police-procedural scene since 2012's The Dark Winter, refuses to surrender to the malign forces that cast long, grisly shadows over his adopted home. The unconditional love and respect of two good women, McAvoy's wife, Roisin, and his boss, Trish Pharoah, allow him to tangle with some of the most horrific elements of humanity without losing his mind-though there are times when he has to be dragged back from the brink. In the sixth McAvoy novel, Cruel Mercy, out this month from Blue Rider Press, McAvoy finds himself far from home, as he investigates a couple of cases in New York City.
