The fourth DI Thorne novel from the bestselling author of SLEEPYHEAD and SCAREDY CAT.
A MAN WHO KILLS FOR MONEY. X marks the spot - and when that spot is a corpse's naked back and the X is carved in blood, DI Tom Thorne is in no doubt that the dead man is the latest victim of a particularly vicious killer.
A BRUTAL VENDETTA. This is brutal turf warfare between north London gangs. Organised crime boss Billy Ryan is moving into someone else's patch and that someone is not best pleased.
A COP WHO IS PLAYING WITH FIRE. And when an X is carved on DI Tom Thorne's front door, he knows the smouldering embers of this case are about to erupt into flames...
Mark Billingham
Mark Billingham has twice won the Theakston Old Peculier Award for Crime Novel of the Year, the Sherlock Award for the best detective created by a British writer and in 2026 he was awarded the Crime Writers' Association Diamond Dagger for an outstanding lifetime contribution to the genre.
