Lazybones by Mark Billingham
Someone - a woman or somebody pretending to be a woman - is writing to convicted rapists in prison, befriending them and then brutally killing them when they are released. DI Tom Thorne must discover the link between these killings and a murder/suicide that took place twenty-five years before; a tragedy to which the only witnesses were two small children, now adults and nowhere to be found...How can you escape a past that will do a lot more than just catch up with you? And how can Thorne catch a killer, when he doesn't really care about the victims?
LAZYBONES is insanely gripping, the type of book that can rob you of a whole night's sleepThe dark humour is perfectly weighted, the rhythm of the prose is perfectly quick and our hero is likeably dishevelled and careworn. BIG ISSUE An excellent thriller. DUBLIN EVENING HERALD A compellingly satisfying police procedural that never loosens its grip on your throat. DAILY MAIL LAZYBONES is meticulously researched, as interesting as it is enjoyable. DAILY MIRROR
