Very much “why they didn't” rather “what if they had”.
Steve Richard's' anecdotal style makes it a very easy read whilst still packing in information and substance.
A stand alone set in the Glasgow gangster underworld.
Finely etched characters with a storyline that keeps moving and builds to final chapters full of tension. Great storytelling laced with suspense and dark humour throughout.
Perhaps the best Tom Thorne novel for a number of years. Set in 1996 the time is evoked with Mark Billingham's usual humour and detail.
A young boy goes missing, the search for him takes in some literal dead ends before a satisfying ending which isn't signposted earlier. Tom Thorne's nascent career and the early appearance of names and faces familiar from the other novels make it a great read for Thorne fans and those new to the series
