The Crime The customers in a London convenience store are taken captive. Among them is young mother, Detective Helen Weeks. She is told her life depends on the co-operation of one of her colleagues - detective Tom Thorne. The Demand Akhtar is desperate to know what really happened to his beloved son, who died a year before in prison. He is convinced the death was not an accident and forces the one man who knows more about the case than any other, Thorne, to re-investigate. The Twist What Thorne discovers will upend everything he thought he knew about the fate of those he's put away...but will it be enough to fulfill the wishes of a grieving and potentially violent father?
A killer is on the loose. The victims: children whose mothers can't protect them. The past is coming back to haunt the people of London: a murderer is targeting the children of victims of Raymond Garvey, an infamous serial killer from London's past. When Murder Squad veteran Detective Tom Thorne, who solves the London Police Department's most difficult cases, is called into what seems like, for once, an ordinary domestic murder, he thinks he's caught a break. A woman has been murdered by someone she knows. A positive pregnancy test found on the floor beside her. Thorne plans to question the husband, arrest him and return home to deal with his own deteriorating personal life. But when a mysterious sliver of bloodstained X-ray that was found clutched in the victim's fist is replicated at other crime scenes around the city, Thorne realizes that this is not a simple case. As the bits of X-ray begin to come together to form a picture, it becomes clear that the killer knows his prey all too well and is moving through a list that was started long ago. As Thorne attempts to protect those still alive, nothing and nobody are what they seem. Not when Thorne is dealing with one of the most twisted killers he has ever hunted.

Men snart finner kriminalførstebetjent Tom Thorne ut at hun er morderens mesterstykke. Thorne er en litt sær politimann med sans for outsidere og Johnny Cash. Kan han nå inn til Alison?

Death Message is the unforgettable new entry in the suspense series featuring Tom Thorne, "the next superstar detective" (Lee Child), from Mark Billingham, one of Britain's most compelling and talented crime writers. Billingham, the author of In the Dark and Buried, delivers a chilling thriller that begins with a body and a phone line, both of which are dead.
The eagerly awaited new Tom Thorne thriller
"A stand-out thriller.... A] remarkable achievement." --Chicago Sun-TimesHailed as one of the UK's strongest contemporary thriller writers--the British Dennis Lehane--Mark Billingham may be the most exciting author to hit the noir fiction scene in years. With In the Dark, Billingham steps briefly away from his bestselling series featuring Detective Inspector Tom Thorne (Sleepyhead, Scaredy Cat, Lazybones, et al) and delivers a powerful story of cops, street gangs, and career criminals that twists and turns into dark, unexpected areas. In the Dark is a magnificent achievement by a modern master who's been compared enthusiastically to Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin, and George Pellacanos, and whose latest novel, Death Message, has recently been named the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year.
Mafiabossen Billy Ryan er i ferd med å trenge seg inn på et nytt område, og den slags gjør man ikke ustraffet. En leiemorder kommer på banen, og hans ofre bærer alle et X - risset inn i huden. Når Tom Thorne finner et rødt kryss på hoveddøra si blir det klart for ham at en gammel sak er på veg til å bryte ut i lys lue. Brennende jente er en selvstendig bok i serien om kriminalførstebetjent Tom Thorne - en entusiastisk, men skjødesløs og utskjelt hovedperson i en serie som har det meste: et tradisjonelt avansert plott, psykologisk drivende, gode persontegninger - og ikke minst med en god porsjon britisk svart humor.

Slappfisk er den tredje romanen om Billinghams prisbelønte seriefigur, kriminalførstebetjent Tom Thorne. På et lite og snuskete hotell i London blir liket av en middelaldrende mann funnet. Han er naken, fastbundet og mishandlet til det ugjenkjennelige. Ti dager tidligere ble Douglas Remfry sluppet fri fra fengsel der han har sonet en langtidsdom for voldtekt. Hans drøm var å starte et nytt liv, men planene fikk en brå slutt. Når ytterligere en sexforbryter blir drept på liknende vis, forstår Tom Thorne at noen er ute etter hevn. Men for en gangs skyld har han problemer med å føle sympati med ofrene. Ja, er det mulig å rettferdiggjøre mord, fordi offeret har begått en enda mer avskyelig forbrytelse? Dette er et underliggende tema i Slappfisk, som Tom Thorne sirkler rundt, mens spenningen stiger fra side til side.
Luke Mullen, the missing teenage son of a former police officer, was last seen getting into a car with an older woman. No one knows whether he went willingly or was abducted, whether he's living or dead. Then the videotape arrives . . . On special assignment, Detective Inspector Tom Thorne is in charge of the investigation into Luke's disappearance. But it's the information that Tony Mullen, the boy's father, is not freely sharing that Thorne finds particularly disturbing--like the names of dangerous criminals who have openly threatened the tough ex-detective and his entire family. Something shocking and deadly may well be buried deep in old cases and past lives. But Thorne knows he doesn't have the luxury of time to dig--especially when a kidnapper brutally demonstrates that he is willing to kill.
Sov Godt er Mark Billinghams debutroman fra 2001 som fikk overstrømmende Kritikker og føk rett inn på bestselgerlistene og raskt solgt til et titalls land. Det er en psykologisk thriller, der historien utspiller seg i London - i kjente omgivelser for mange nordmenn. En morder er (som vanlig) løs, men med en original, om enn litt uhyggelig, vri: Når senere ofre blir funnet døde, så har han mislykkes. Det er den hjernedøde, men fortsatt i live, som er morderens siktemål... Politiinspektør og Jonny Cash - tilhenger Tom Thorne, jakter kort sagt på en uvanlig "morder". For sin seriefigur, DI Thorne, fikk Billingham Sherlock Holmes- prisen i 2003. Han er karakterisert som det ypperste i en ny generasjonen av engelske krimforfattere, og har fått flere utmerkelser for sitt unge forfatterskap.
