About the Author
Mark Billingham has twice won the Theakston's Old Peculier Award for Crime Novel of the Year, and has also won a Sherlock Award for the Best Detective created by a British writer. Each of the novels featuring Detective Inspector Tom Thorne has been a Sunday Times bestseller. Sleepyhead and Scaredy Cat were made into a hit TV series on Sky 1 starring David Morrissey as Thorne, and a new series based on the novels In the Dark and Time of Death will be broadcast on BBC1 in 2017. Mark lives in north London with his wife and two children.
From Booklist
London gangster Alan Langford’s charred remains were found handcuffed to the steering wheel of a burned-out Jaguar, and copper Tom Thorne (The Dying Hours, 2013) quickly extracted a confession from Langford’s wife, Donna, who admitted to hiring one of Langford’s associates to kill him. A decade later, after being released from prison, she receives a photo of Langford in the mail, and he appears to be alive and well in some sunny seaside resort. At the same time, her 18-year-old daughter, who was placed with a foster family when Donna was jailed, has disappeared. Thorne is assigned to investigate, and people begin to die. Thorne and his creator are wildly successful in England, but this one has some problems. Plot convolutions seem endless and overcooked, and the attention to Thorne’s angst and his fraying relationship with his significant other causes the narrative to lag. But the pace accelerates when Thorne tracks Langford to Spain’s wealthy, dodgy Costa del Sol, and a surprising, if not fully satisfying, denouement plays out. --Thomas Gaughan

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Donna Langford receives a very recent photo of her ex-husband in the post, she gets the shock of her life. Because she's just spent ten years in prison for organising his murder. When her daughter goes missing, Donna believes there can only be one man responsible and hires Anna Carpenter, a determined young private investigator, to find him. DI Tom Thorne worked on the Alan Langford case, so when Carpenter brings the photo to him, he refuses to believe that the man whose body was found in a burned-out car ten years before can still be alive. But when a prison inmate that he and Anna interview is viciously murdered, Thorne starts to understand that Langford is not only alive, but ready to get rid of anyone who could threaten his comfortable new life in Spain. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002054256
