Synopsis
Mark Billingham is one of England’s best known and top-selling crime writers. In this, the gripping ninth Tom Thorne novel, a man long thought killed by his suffering wife turns up alive. And then other people begin to turn up dead.
A decade ago, Alan Langford’s charred remains were discovered in his burnt-out car. His wife, Donna, was found guilty of conspiracy to murder her husband and sentenced to ten years in prison. But before she is released, Donna receives a nasty shock: an anonymous letter containing a photo of her husband. The man she hates with every fiber of her being the man she paid to have murdered seems very much alive and well. But how is it possible that her husband is not dead? Where is he? Who sent the photo, and why?

Review
Praise for From the Dead
Mark Billingham is a first-rate British crime writer who is too little known in this country. . . . The police procedural is a deceptively simple genre. You need a crime, a cop, suspects, complications and finally a solution. The art, of course, lies in the ingenuity of the crime, the depth of the characterizations and the quality of the writing. Billingham excels in all regards.” Patrick Anderson, Washington Post
Billingham’s ninth Tom Thorne thriller sees our hero working on a case in which a man long dead appears to be very much alive to the chagrin of his wife, who had paid to ensure his expiration.” Entertainment Weekly
Once again, [Billingham] has written a deep police procedural with significant insights into the characters. . . . Written with smoothness and urbanity, the plot moves forward in unexpected ways. Recommended.” Theodore Feit, The Midwest Book Review
[A] fine, well-plotted work . . . Billingham’s dark humor, often shot through with irony, is in full play here.” Joe Hartlaub, Book Reporter
A chillingly clever criminal boosts this intelligent procedural.” Publishers Weekly
A nice mix of police procedure and chatty scenes, and some nice scenery.” Salem Macknee, Charlotte Observer
