Come and Find Me by Sarah Hilary
5.0
An overcrowded prison is a tinderbox waiting to explode and when HMP Cloverton does so the outcomes are devastating. Prisoners dead, brutally attacked by other inmates, several prisoners in hospital suffering from the effects of smoke from the fire and one escapee. Michael Vokes is a talented artist and known psychopath, although he had not been convicted of anything more than aggravated burglary his former cellmate hung himself and Vokes has a string of women writing to him. Marnie Rome is tasked with finding Vokes and after visiting his home her team is in a race against time. However it is hard to work out who wants to harm Vokes and who wants to help him.
This is a slightly different episode in the series and works incredibly well. The emphasis is less on the team and more on the psychology, the way people are manipulated by words. The twist was flagged up fairly early on but Hilary managed to keep the crucial point until fairly late on. I particularly enjoyed the parallel tales about Rome's parents murder and the questions being put in her head alongside the questions being asked by the people under Vokes' spell. This is a really strong series of police procedurals and it is only getting better.
