In Nicola Tanner and Phil Hendricks, Thorne has good friends by his side. He finally has a love life worth a damn and is happy in the job to which he has devoted his life…

He has everything to lose.

Hunting the woman responsible for a series of grisly murders, Thorne has no way of knowing that he will be plunged into a nightmare from which he may never wake.

Reviews

Anthony Horowitz
A gripping, grisly read . . . Mark Billingham is a terrific crime writer
Adele Parks
Another tense, taut and meticulously planned story, shimmering with edgy originality and depth. Crime fans know Billingham is a formidable talent
Mirror
It's Billingham at his most dramatic
Financial Times
A notable rival for the title of Britain's leading male crime novelist
Daily Mail
This is Billingham at his most enjoyably melodramatic and you'll be knocked sideways by the barrage of twists
Mark Sanderson, The Times
The sense of mounting dread would be unbearable were it not for Billingham's black humour that somehow highlights rather than undermines his sensitive depiction of the consequences of crime. The Murder Book [is] a brilliant thriller by a writer at the top of his game
Daily Express
You'll be knocked sideways by the twists
