Hurt is a tense and page-turning crime thriller about the abuse of power and how the young and vulnerable can fall prey to those they should be able to trust. Hurt is the second case for Brian McGilloway’s young headstrong DS Lucy Black where the mobile phone and social media connections are all she has to go on in a murder case involving a sixteen year old girl. A crime author who is definitely worth discovering.
