About the Author:
From Booklist:
Mark Billingham is the author of nine novels, including Sleepyhead, Scaredy Cat, Lazybones, The Burning Girl, Lifeless, and Buried—all Times (London) bestsellers—as well as the stand-alone thriller In the Dark. For the creation of the Tom Thorne character, Billingham received the 2003 Sherlock Award for Best Detective created by a British writer, and he has twice won the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award. He has previously worked as an actor and stand-up comedian on British television and still writes regularly for the BBC. He lives in London with his wife and two children.
The sixth entry in the Tom Thorne series finds the London homicide detective assigned to a kidnap detail seeking out the teenage son of a retired police official. Soon after Thorne admits he needs a body to really sink his teeth into a case, he gets two--the kidnappers. They're found slashed to death, the teen's prints are all over the knife, and he has disappeared. But Thorne believes the young man's been reabducted, and he digs into the father's past to find out who might have done it. He starts with the man the ex-cop failed to place on his list of known enemies, a child molester on the lam for murder. Meanwhile, Thorne copes with a steadily worsening back injury, late-night appearances by his dead father, and the romantic travails of his best friend, medical examiner Phil Hendricks. On the bright side, his kidnap-squad counterpart seems to fancy him when she is not freezing him out of the investigation. Billingham is a television writer, and Thorne's ripe to star in one of those deliciously dour procedurals the Brits are so skilled at turning out. Frank Sennett

More specifically: Covers have light creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine has minor lean. . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Luke Mullen, sixteen-year-old son of a former high-ranking police officer, has disappeared, presumed kidnapped. While no-one quite dares to voice the fear that he could also be presumed dead, Detective Inspector Tom Thorne is brought in to beef up the squad dedicated to locating the missing boy. The first thing the team looks for is anyone with a grudge against Luke's father, a man who has put a lot of tough villains away in his time. A list quickly emerges, but Thorne discovers that ex-DCI Tony Mullen has omitted the name of the most obvious suspect: a man who'd once threatened him and his family and who, after serving time for his original crime, is now the main suspect in a murder which has been unsolved for four years. Is this a simple oversight, understandable considering the trauma of his son's disappearance? Or is it something more telling? Aware that he hasn't the luxury of time, Thorne searches desperately for connections and leads, but learns that secrets are as easily buried as bodies, and that assumptions are the enemies of truth. *** Quantity Available: 2.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Near fine. Reprinted edition. Near fine condition.Little, Brown,2006.Reprinted edition.Large format paperback(a couple of small nicks and crease on the edges of the cover and spine) in near fine condition.Nice and clean pages as new with a couple of small nicks and creases on the edges of the pages,small nick and ink mark on the outer edges.Nice and clean book.405pp. This is another paragraph Review: The fashion in which Mark Billingham has climbed his way to the top of the British crime writing fraternity should cause no one any surprise. His secret (as his latest book, Buried, comprehensively proves) is simple: Billingham's work is always utterly reliable, delivering gritty and authoritative crime fiction writing in which the sense of locale is always spot-on. n nHere, DI Tom Thorne is asked to help in the case of a teenage boy who has disappeared. He is the son of a once high-ranking police officer (now retired), and Thorne's first endeavour is to ask the father, ex DCI-Mullen, to draw up a list of all those in his past who might have reason to hold a grudge. But then Thorne discovers that there is an omission from the list: a man who has made serious threats to Mullen and his family. And as Billingham's beleaguered hero strains every sinew to track down the boy before he is killed, he has to find out why his ex-police colleague has lied to him. n nAs so often before with Billingham, it's the steady accumulation of disturbing detail that makes this novel so compelling. The author eschews easy thrills, and prefers to involve the reader at a more realistic pace. This is not to say that the book lacks excitement (even Billingham's enemies could hardly accuse him of that), but just that the tension is dispensed in a way that never seems meretricious. Another solid entry in the growing Tom Thorne canon. Seller Inventory # 392
