From the Dead - Book 9 - Tom Thorne

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 ten 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... Mark Billingham Når Donna Langford mottar et fotografi av sin eksmann i posten, får hun sitt livs sjokk. Fotografiet er nylig tatt, men selv har hun tilbrakt ti år i fengsel for å ha organisert mordet på sin daværende ektemann. Men når datteren så forsvinner, er Donna sikker på at kun én mann kan stå bak, og hun ansetter privatetterforsker Anna Carpenter for å finne ham. Carpenter kontakter politimannen som var ansvarlig for etterforskningen i Alan Langford-saken, Tom Thorn. Thorn har selv sett liket av Langford i en utbrent bil ti år tidligere, og nekter først å tro at han kan være i live. Men så begynner folk å dø og Thorn forstår snart at Langford ikke bare er i live, men at han er villig til å gjøre alt for å beskytte sitt nye og komfortable liv i Spania It has been a decade since Alan Langfords charred remains were discovered in his burnt-out car. His wife Donna was found guilty of conspiracy to murder her husband and served ten years in prison. But just before she is released, Donna receives a nasty shock: an anonymous letter containing a photo of her husband. The man she hates with every fibre of her being the man she paid to have murdered seems very much alive and well How is it possible that her husband is still alive? Where is he? Who sent the photo, and why? DI Tom Thorne becomes involved in a case where nothing and no one are what they seem. It will take him much further from his London beat than he has ever been before and closer to a killer who will do anything to protect his new life.
