Death Message

by Mark Billingham
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
An "outstanding" novel featuring British detective Thorne investigating a string of murders after he receives text messages with photos of corpses. (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
Thorne looked at the picture, feeling the pulse quicken at the side of his neck. There were times when he couldn't see what was staring him in the face, but this, for better or worse, was his area of expertise. Thorne knew a dead man when he saw him.
Delivering the "death message." That's what cops call those harrowing moments when they must tell someone that a loved one has been killed. Now Detective Investigator Tom Thorne is receiving messages of his own: photographs of murder victims sent to his cell phone.
Who are the victims? Who is sending the photographs? And why is he sending them to Tom Thorne? The answer lies in the detective investigator's past, with a man he had once sent to prison for life. But even behind bars, the most dangerous psychopath Thorne has ever faced is still a master at manipulating others to do his dirty work for him. And Thorne must act fast because the photos keep on coming, and the killer's next target is someone the detective investigator knows very well . . .
"Morse, Rebus and now, Thorne. The next superstar detective is already with us. Don't miss him." —Lee Child, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series
