About this product
Product Information
Internationally bestselling author Mark Billingham's riveting new novel Love Like Blood marks the return of series character Tom Thorne, the next superstar detective (Lee Child), as he pairs up with perfectionist detective inspector Nicola Tanner of Die of Shame on an investigation that ventures into politically sensitive territory. DI Nicola Tanner needs Tom Thorne's help. Her partner, Susan, has been brutally murdered and Tanner is convinced that it was a case of mistaken identity--that she was the real target. The murderer's motive might have something to do with Tanner's recent work on a string of cold-case honor killings she believes to be related. Tanner is now on compassionate leave but insists on pursuing the case off the books and knows Thorne is just the man to jump into the fire with her. He agrees but quickly finds that working in such controversial territory is dangerous in more ways than one. And when a young couple goes missing, they have a chance to investigate a case that is anything but cold. Racing towards a twist-filled ending, Love Like Blood is another feat of masterful plotting from one of Britain's top crime novelists.

Reviews
Praise for Love Like Blood : "Brilliant." -- Independent (UK) "Billingham's skillful plotting is everywhere in evidence here, and Thorne remains a compelling character, comparable to Connelly's Bosch and Rankin's Rebus." -- Booklist "Entertaining . . . One perfectly executed twist at the end will leave [readers] eagerly awaiting the next in this series." -- Publishers Weekly "Very few will predict the unnerving coda . . . A new and urgent spin on his tried-and-true procedural formula." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Love Like Blood : #5 Sunday Times bestseller in the UK "Brilliant." -- Independent (UK) " Love Like Blood moves quickly and skillfully with reliably readable prose . . . In each chapter, Billingham adeptly unspools a new thread, a new twist, which pushes the reader onward into the story, as he deftly manages an expansive plot without slowing down the momentum of the characters or the story." -- Mystery Scene "Billingham's ground-breaking novel Love Like Blood . . . confronts the phenomenon of 'honour'-based killings . . . A gripping, unsensational take on a type of crime that is happening more frequently than many of us realise." -- Sunday Times (UK) "Mark Billingham's . . . crime novels don't shy away from being pitch-black as well as witty. Love Like Blood features the welcome return of Billingham's astute and empathetic London-based detective Tom Thorne." --Daneet Steffens, Seattle Review of Books "Billingham's skillful plotting is everywhere in evidence here, and Thorne remains a compelling character, comparable to Connelly's Bosch and Rankin's Rebus." -- Booklist "Irascible, irritating and indefatigable, DI Tom Thorne has earned his place in the pantheon of fine fictional policemen, alongside those legendary inspectors Morse and Rebus . . . Billingham's passionate depiction of the injustice and brutality that flow from these killings spills from every page, making this one of his most powerful crime novels, written with a fury that does both him and Thorne justice." -- Daily Mail (UK) "Entertaining . . . One perfectly executed twist at the end will leave [readers] eagerly awaiting the next in this series." -- Publishers Weekly "Very few will predict the unnerving coda . . . A new and urgent spin on his tried-and-true procedural formula." -- Kirkus Reviews "A gripping and genuinely tragic story." -- Literary Review (UK), Praise for Love Like Blood : #5 Sunday Times bestseller in the UK "Brilliant." -- Independent (UK) "Billingham's ground-breaking novel Love Like Blood . . . confronts the phenomenon of 'honour'-based killings . . . A gripping, unsensational take on a type of crime that is happening more frequently than many of us realise." -- Sunday Times (UK) "Billingham's skillful plotting is everywhere in evidence here, and Thorne remains a compelling character, comparable to Connelly's Bosch and Rankin's Rebus." -- Booklist "Irascible, irritating and indefatigable, DI Tom Thorne has earned his place in the pantheon of fine fictional policemen, alongside those legendary inspectors Morse and Rebus . . .

In Love Like Blood , Mark Billingham puts human faces on one such case . . . Although 'dishonored' male relatives are prime suspects in most cases of punitive violence, squeamish families often prefer to shop the job to a middleman with access to professional hit men--thugs like Muldoon and Riaz, who collaborate efficiently but whose cultural clashes can be morbidly funny." --Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review " Love Like Blood moves quickly and skillfully with reliably readable prose . . . In each chapter, Billingham adeptly unspools a new thread, a new twist, which pushes the reader onward into the story, as he deftly manages an expansive plot without slowing down the momentum of the characters or the story." -- Mystery Scene " Love Like Blood hums along on all six cylinders. Billingham has always been a smart writer, one who delves into the nooks and crannies of the police procedural genre where others don't think of going, and once again he takes the genre to new heights here with its clever murder hypothesis that is as current as today's headlines . . . Billingham doesn't get near the recognition in the United States that he has earned and deserves. Hopefully Love Like Blood will change that." --Joe Hartlaub, Bookreporter "Shocking and topical . . . Billingham has few equals in moulding convincing characters and his finest creation Thorne is in top form . . . An engaging thriller from one of Britain's best crime writers." -- Daily Express (UK) "Billingham's ground-breaking novel Love Like Blood . . . confronts the phenomenon of 'honour'-based killings . . . A gripping, unsensational take on a type of crime that is happening more frequently than many of us realise." -- Sunday Times (UK) "Mark Billingham's . . . crime novels don't shy away from being pitch-black as well as witty.

Billingham's passionate depiction of the injustice and brutality that flow from these killings spills from every page, making this one of his most powerful crime novels, written with a fury that does both him and Thorne justice." -- Daily Mail (UK) "This sensitive topic is delicately handled, with a perfectly executed and thoroughly unnerving twist at the end." -- Guardian (UK) "Entertaining . . . One perfectly executed twist at the end will leave [readers] eagerly awaiting the next in this series." -- Publishers Weekly "Very few will predict the unnerving coda . . . A new and urgent spin on his tried-and-true procedural formula." -- Kirkus Reviews "A gripping and genuinely tragic story." -- Literary Review (UK)
