About this listen

From number one best seller Mark Billingham comes a masterful, intense crime novel that pits DI Tom Thorne against an evil beyond comprehension, yet shockingly real.

A bloody massage

As DI Nicola Tanner investigates what appears to be a series of organised killings, her partner Susan is brutally murdered, leaving the detective bereft, and vengeful.

A powerful ally

Taken off the case, Tanner enlists the help of DI Tom Thorne to pursue a pair of ruthless killers and the broker handing out the deadly contracts.

A conspiracy of silence

As the killers target their latest victim, Thorne takes the biggest risk of his career and is drawn into a horrifying and disturbing world in which families will do anything to protect their honour.

Interesting how different crimes were somehow investigated and linked but not directly. Haven’t listened to the books in order so was good to find out the how Thorne and Tanner first worked together.

Several story lines interweaving

I have listened to all of the TT books and this is one of my favourites. I listen in my car on my way to and from work and this book made me sit on my drive and carry on listening to see what happened. Great book. Very well read

A most intriguing story which is apparently true! It is scary, somewhat violent but also gives us an insider look at other culture. I hope that honour killings are sorted out, prior to the death of someone, and that people will realise that no matter the reason, it is MURDER! Great writing and narration and very up to date with today's events and our way of living.

Brilliant sad worrying story. It's good Mark has written about this subject. Characters are great as usual.

Brilliant as usual, frightening with the truth of it all

Heartbreaking story and what an eye opener as I had assumed these type of murders only happened in the Muslim community.
I never saw the twist at the end coming. My second book by Mark Billingham.it won't be my last.

Brilliant

Mark Billingham is possibly the best author the UK has to offer. I can highly recommend all of his awesome novels.

Another brilliant offering from Mark Billingham. Well written and interwoven story. Additional voices added to the authenticity of the story line.

Thorne at his best.
