The first novel in a series by Mark Billingham introducing DI Tom Thorne. I have read every book in the series and bought a copy of this for a good friend who was so impressed that he is also continuing with the series and can't put them down.
If you enjoy a good crime novel based in the uk this is the book for you. To say anything about the story would only spoil it.
