The bestselling British crime author ("Sleepyhead, Lazybones") delivers a long-awaited stand-alone novel of murder, vengeance, and justice set on the dark streets of London's most dangerous neighborhoods.
"A stand-out thriller....[A] remarkable achievement."
- Chicago Sun-Times

Hailed as one of the UK's strongest contemporary thriller writers-the British Dennis Lehane-Mark Billingham may be the most exciting author to hit the noir fiction scene in years. With In the Dark , Billingham steps briefly away from his bestselling series featuring Detective Inspector Tom Thorne ( Sleepyhead , Scaredy Cat , Lazybones , et al) and delivers a powerful story of cops, street gangs, and career criminals that twists and turns into dark, unexpected areas. In the Dark is a magnificent achievement by a modern master who's been compared enthusiastically to Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin, and George Pellacanos, and whose latest novel, Death Message , has recently been named the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year.
