Synopsis: &“The action moves swiftly toward a big twist and the satisfying conclusion . . . shows why Billingham stands at the forefront of British crime authors&” (Publishers Weekly). Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl and Sharp Objects, has called Mark Billingham &“one of the most consistently entertaining, insightful crime writers working today,&” and this novel brings together his popular detective Tom Thorne and straitlaced DI Nicola Tanner on a pair of lethally high-stakes cases. While Tanner investigates the deadly spread of a dangerous new drug, Thorne is handed a case that he doesn&’t take too seriously—until a spate of animal killings points to the work of a serial murderer. When the two cases come together unexpectedly, both Thorne and Tanner must risk everything to catch two very different killers. &“Morse, Rebus, and now Thorne. The next superstar detective is already with us―don&’t miss him.&” ―Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series &“Tom Thorne [is] worth getting to know.&” —The Washington Post
