review 1: The latest book in a series that never disappoints. Freshly reinstated in the position he was stripped of following the events of book 10, Thorne once again comes face to face with one of the worst adversaries he faced over the course of his career. After ten years behind bars, serial killer Stuart Nicklin volunteers to show the police where he buried an until now undiscovered victim 25 years ago - on the condition that Thorne accompanies him and a fellow prisoner personally to the remote Welsh island where the crime was committed. Deeply suspicious of Nicklin's motives but ordered to go along with his demands, Thorne and his team comply... little expecting what truly lies behind the road trip and recovery mission. Mindgames, an underlying sense of danger and deception and... more suspense that keeps on building until the very end - a thrilling read that keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way through.
review 2: It started really well, I enjoyed the book for the most part, however when the book came to the point of a prisoner escaping and Thornes then actions, it was at this point the book fell apart. No police officer would leave a dying man, send one of his number off on a wild goose chase leaving the third officer out of it. Thorne would be sacked and finished for poor judgement. I accept the book is fiction, but some sort of sense of reality should have been brought into the book. Mark Billinghams book have normally been written to a high standard. This one fails for me. less
