Synopsis

It has been a decade since 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 served ten years in prison. But just 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. How is it possible that her husband is still alive? Where is he? Who sent the photo, and why? Detective Inspector Tom Thorne becomes involved in a case where nothing and no one are what they seem. It will take him much further from his London beat than he has ever been before—and closer to a killer who will do anything to protect his new life.

The 9th Tom Thorne book in the series by Mark Billingham. I am enjoying this series but felt that a couple of the previous books fell short of the previous high standard, this one however was back up there with the best. Fast paced, lots of action, a real page turner.......more

Goodreads review by jo freeman on August 09, 2019

I really enjoyed this, knowing I had read a book out of sequence I thought that this may effect my enjoyment of the plot and character knowledge. I quite like Thorne although his ability to deduce the criminal is somewhat clunky and hit and miss. Like most policemen his love life is fucked up and tr......more
