In Report for Murder, we meet self-proclaimed \"cynical socialist lesbian feminist journalist\" Lindsay Gordon--McDermid's pioneering character--as she investigates the vicious murder of the headliner at a fundraising gala who is found garroted with her own cello strings. These books take Lindsay from a murder at a women's protest for which Lindsay's former lover is the chief suspect; to the death of a union boss for which Lindsay must prove her innocence; with stops along the way in the buzzy journalism world and the seething rivalries of London publishing; and all the way to St. Petersburg to retrieve the kidnapped son of a local car dealer. Longtime fans will be delighted to see the Lindsay Gordon series back in print, and for readers who have never encountered McDermid before, these books are a thrilling introduction to \"Britain's Queen of Crime\" (\u003cem\u003eTimes\u003c\/em\u003e, UK).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVal McDermid\u003c\/b\u003e's best-selling novels have won the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book of the Year and the CWA Gold Dagger and Cartier Diamond Dagger Awards.
