Fever of the Bone

It was published by Little, Brown in Great Britain (2009) and HarperCollins for the United States and Canada (2010), and is the sixth novel in the series featuring psychologist Dr. Tony Hill and Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan.

In this instance, the poem "Whispers of Immortality" provides the source, with the lines "No contact possible to flesh Allayed the fever of the bone."

The story centers on the investigation of the murders of several teenagers who, at first, can only be connected by their use of the fictional social networking site RigMarole.

Along the way, Carol has to deal with the pressures placed on her by new Chief Constable James Blake, which include an attempt to lower the costs of the investigation by using in-house profiling help instead of going to Dr. Hill.

A tie-in version of the RigMarole website was launched by Little, Brown[2] around the time that the novel was published in Great Britain, but is no longer available.
