On the surface, John Meredith appears to have it all. He's blessed with good looks and a successful police career, and he's never short of female attention. But is everything as it seems? What lies beneath the smooth, confident exterior? Is he a man who has simply plastered over the cracks of a dysfunctional childhood, betrayals and heartbreak? Can he allow anyone close or will they see the joins and the damaged person that he really is?The Making of Meredith explores not only what made the man but also how his past could destroy his future.Although not a detective novel, this is a prequel to the Meredith & Hodge series, and a must read for all Meredith & Hodge fans.
