Items related to From the Dead
It has been a decade since Alan Langford's charred remains were discovered in his burnt-out car. His wife Donna was found guilty of conspiracy to murder her husband and served ten years in prison.
But just before she is released, Donna receives a nasty shock: an anonymous letter containing a photo of her husband. The man she hates with every fibre of her being - the man she paid to have murdered - seems very much alive and well.
How is it possible that her husband is still alive? Where is he? Who sent the photo, and why?
DI Tom Thorne becomes involved in a case where nothing and no one are what they seem. It will take him much further from his London beat than he has ever been before - and closer to a killer who will do anything to protect his new life.

From Booklist:
London gangster Alan Langford’s charred remains were found handcuffed to the steering wheel of a burned-out Jaguar, and copper Tom Thorne (The Dying Hours, 2013) quickly extracted a confession from Langford’s wife, Donna, who admitted to hiring one of Langford’s associates to kill him. A decade later, after being released from prison, she receives a photo of Langford in the mail, and he appears to be alive and well in some sunny seaside resort. At the same time, her 18-year-old daughter, who was placed with a foster family when Donna was jailed, has disappeared. Thorne is assigned to investigate, and people begin to die. Thorne and his creator are wildly successful in England, but this one has some problems. Plot convolutions seem endless and overcooked, and the attention to Thorne’s angst and his fraying relationship with his significant other causes the narrative to lag. But the pace accelerates when Thorne tracks Langford to Spain’s wealthy, dodgy Costa del Sol, and a surprising, if not fully satisfying, denouement plays out. --Thomas Gaughan
