As if we needed reminding how good Mark Billingham is."-- Val McDermid "Tom Thorne is one of the most credible and engaging heroes in contemporary crime fiction.

Twenty years in and better than ever."-- Ian Rankin Praise for Mark Billingham and the Tom Thorne novels: "A fantastic thriller, combining a gripping plot and lead characters of remarkable depth...Readers who grab this one but aren't familiar with its predecessors will be seeking them out.

SynopsisThe latest thriller from internationally bestselling author Mark Billingham takes us back to the origins of Tom Thorne., The latest thriller from internationally bestselling author Mark Billingham takes us back to the origins of Tom Thorne. In the summer of 1996, two boys run from a playground into the adjoining woods, but only one comes out. DS Tom Thorne takes on a case that quickly spirals out of control when two people connected with the missing boy are murdered. As London prepares to host the European Soccer Championships, Thorne fights to keep on top of a baffling investigation while also dealing with the ugly fallout of his broken marriage. A prequel to Billingham's acclaimed debut Sleepyhead --which the Times voted "one of the 100 books that had shaped the decade"--this compelling novel highlights the case that shaped the career of one of British crime fiction's most iconic characters.
