MARK BILLINGHAM - GOOD AS DEAD


If you like your crime gritty then Billingham is your man. London is the setting for his stories and he's a great plotter. I didn't pick the bad guy in this story and I'll bet you can't either.

 

Tom Thorne is one of those damaged cops we read so much about but he gets his man, or woman, as he should.  I've read three of his novels and enjoyed them all. But gritty, real gritty. The upper classes don't stand a chance.
