The Retribution: 7: An unforgettably thrilling novel that will have you hooked (Tony Hill and Carol Jordan)

Product Information

I've read more of Val McDermids Kate Brannigan series than this series featuring Tony Hill and Carol Jordan but I have also watched a dozen episodes of Wire in The Blood which is based on the pair and it is the book of the same name that first introduces the terrifying killer who is seeking revenge in The Retribution. Victor Tadros (2013: 261) raises an important concern about this response to Hart's objection, namely that if a person were already suffering, then the situation might be made better if the person engaged in wrongdoing, thereby making the suffering valuable. One way to avoid this unwanted implication is to say that the negative value of the wrong would outweigh any increased value in the suffering, and that the wronging is still deontologically prohibited, even if it would somehow improve the value picture (see Alexander & Ferzan 2018: 187–188). But this reply leaves intact the thought that something valuable nonetheless occurs if a suffering person commits a crime: her suffering at least now fits (see Tadros 2015: 401-403). Insofar as retributivists should find this an unwanted implication, they have reason to say that suffering is valuable only if it is meted out for a wrong done. This connection is the concern of the next section. 4.3.2 Suffering in the abstract versus suffering through punishment But McDermid's compassion is not uncritical; it's not easily earned or given. She also has the ruthless psychological scalpel that forms part of the equipment of all good novelists, whatever their genre. And, fortunately for us, she knows just how to use it. No other punishment philosophy gives so much importance to actus reus (a guilty act) and mens rea (a guilty state of mind). Under retribution, both elements of the crime must be present before punishment can be imposed. In addition, offenders may be punished only for the guilty acts they actually commit; those who plan a murder but succeed only in wounding a victim, for example, should not be punished as harshly as those who actually carry out the murder.

Carol Jordan, as yet unaware of what is about to happen, is dealing with a shake-up at the Bradfield Metropolitan Police, where the powers that be are disbanding her Major Incident Team. In an attempt to go out in a ‘blaze of glory,’ they are faced with finding a killer who has been killing street prostitutes in gruesome ways, and branding them with a distinctive tattoo on the wrist of each. Suddenly, Jordan’s priorities change with Vance’s escape, and its implications. Tony’s priorities as well must be divided between these investigations. Anthony D'Alessandro (June 15, 2021).

No one can accuse Val McDermid of being a shrinking violet when it come to spilling some blood and there’s a fair bit of it being spilled here. The Retribution is centered around two problematic crime sprees. The first is a now-familiar series of horrific murders of “working girls” in the Temple Fields (red light/gay ghetto) section of downtown Bradfield. Each of the three killings is quite different from each other but they all have the word “mine” tattooed somewhere on the corpse. It takes awhile for the police to recognize there’s only one killer involved because the bodies are in such different states. However, eventually the police do hand the case over to MIT even though it will likely be the unit’s last case. Carol’s new boss has decided that having a cadre of specialized officers who work on the hardest cases and get good results is “too expensive” so she’s taken a job at West Mercia and her team’s officers will join the regular detective rotation.

Retribution appears alongside restorative principles in law codes from the ancient Near East, including the Code of Ur-Nammu ( c. 2050 bce), the Laws of Eshnunna ( c. 2000 bce), and the better-known Babylonian Code of Hammurabi ( c. 1750 bce). In those legal systems, collectively referred to as cuneiform law, crimes were considered violations of other people’s rights. Victims were to be compensated for the intentional and unintentional harms they suffered, and offenders were to be punished because they had done wrong.

This argument would have no value in a society that applied the death penalty consistently for particular types of murder. Capital punishment is not retribution enough Retribution is based on the concept of lex talionis—that is, the law of retaliation. At its core is the principle of equal and direct retribution, as expressed in Exodus 21:24 as “an eye for an eye.” Destroying the eye of a person of equal social standing meant that one’s own eye would be put out. Some penalties designed to punish culpable behaviour by individuals were specifically tied to outlawed acts. Branders who used their skills to remove slave marks from runaway slaves, for example, had their hands amputated. Since capital punishment is not operated retributively, it is inappropriate to use retribution to justify capital punishment.
