When Donna Langford receives a very recent photo of her ex-husband in the post, she gets the shock of her life - because she’s just spent ten years in prison for organising his murder.

When her daughter goes missing, Donna believes there can only be one man responsible and hires Anna Carpenter, a determined young private investigator, to find him.

DI Tom Thorne worked on the Alan Langford case, so when Carpenter brings the photo to him, he refuses to believe that the man whose body was found in a burned-out car 10 years before can still be alive.

But when a prison inmate that he and Anna interview is viciously murdered, Thorne starts to understand that Langford is not only alive, but ready to get rid of anyone who could threaten his comfortable new life in Spain.

Intelligent crime novel

I enjoyed this book. Billingham clearly thinks through his plot, does his research and writes intelligently. Thought the videos, background and pics at the end a novel idea and interesting.

Brilliantly written

Now that I am well acquainted with Billingham Thorne novels he deserves the high rating - purely the fine writing.
As always the characters are very well developed and behave consistently .in some ways one is disappointed with Thorne. He never seems to come out his events entirely satisfactorily and sometimes the resolution of the story comes despite his efforts. He's a good soul and one can only hope he resolves his inner tensions and inadequacy in his own relationships.

story did not quite add up, but always enjoy Bellingham

I like reading Mark Bellingham and enjoy the character of Thorne.
This story however does not hold up.
The wife had already done time for the murder of her husband, therefor it is doubtful she would have done any more time.
Also why would the husband have pretended to be dead, the kind of character that is portrayed would have had the wife killed or used the knowledge to give her a very hard time, he could however have just wanted out of his present life? but not to continue it elsewhere?

Very readable

Perhaps not quite as easy flowing as previous books in the Tom Thorne series, but nevertheless an enjoyable read. Tom seems more irascible than usual in From The Dead but as the chase for Alan Langford gets nearer to its conclusion and his relationship with Louise in trouble, it is not really surprising. Will definitely be reading the next in the series.

Thorne at his best!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2011

This book opens with Donna who has just got out of prison. A few weeks before, she receives a photo of her husband who should be dead as she paid someone to kill him years ago. Thorne is approached by a private investigator who really turns his head. She likes what he likes, even his music. He begins to take the case seriously when people start dying. I thought this was so well written and original. There are a few twists which I didn't expect (and I won't go into as this would ruin your enjoyment) and this made the book fantastic. I cannot wait to read the next one!

Brilliant read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2016

A truly great crime thriller. Very well written and plotted, Mark Billingham is at the top of his game with this book. The "human" side of Tom Thorne is very much in evidence throughout the book but for me this enhanced the read. There is nothing to criticise here, no wonder the author is so well respected in this genre.
