Description

The first message sent to Tom Thorne's mobile phone was just a picture - the blurred image of a man's face, but Thorne had seen enough dead bodies in his time to know that the man was no longer alive. But who was he? Who sent the photograph? And why? While the technical experts attempt to trace the sender, Thorne searches the daily police bulletins for a reported death that matches the photograph. Then another picture arrives. Another dead man ...It is the identities of the murdered men which give Thorne his first clue, a link to a dangerous killer he'd put away years before and who is still in prison. With a chilling talent for manipulation, this man has led another inmate to plot revenge on everyone he blames for his current incarceration, and for the murder of his family while he was inside. Newly released, this convict has no fear of the police, no feelings for those he is compelled to murder. Now Tom Thorne must face one of the toughest challenges of his career, knowing that there is no killer more dangerous than one who has nothing left to lose.

I liked this book. Despite it is #7 in the series, I did not have any difficulty following the story line. Every now and then there were hints to the past, but never so cryptic or of so much importance, that I lost track of the story. About the book itself. I liked it. Sometimes the choice of word was difficult, I'm not very good at slang, let alone in a different language. The fact that I've watched my share of British crime did help here:-). I liked the way the story was told, the bad guy even got my sympathy, that's usually not the case at all. And I loved the ending, that left me with a BIG question mark. Maybe that'll be solved in the next book?
