About this listen

From number one best seller Mark Billingham comes a masterful, intense crime novel that pits DI Tom Thorne against an evil beyond comprehension, yet shockingly real.

A bloody massage

As DI Nicola Tanner investigates what appears to be a series of organised killings, her partner Susan is brutally murdered, leaving the detective bereft, and vengeful.

A powerful ally

Taken off the case, Tanner enlists the help of DI Tom Thorne to pursue a pair of ruthless killers and the broker handing out the deadly contracts.

A conspiracy of silence

As the killers target their latest victim, Thorne takes the biggest risk of his career and is drawn into a horrifying and disturbing world in which families will do anything to protect their honour.

One of the best books I have read. It is unbelievably scary what people will do to one another for no reason.

Brilliant

first book enjoyed it

As a woman who was brought up in a fairly strict religious family but one with tremendous compassion, I am horrified to think that there are people suffering. In the name of honour. This book has certainly opened my eyes and I can only hope and pray that these practices will one day come to an end. Well written by the author. Couldn’t put it down.

Murder by another name.

Brilliant as usual, frightening with the truth of it all
