A fantastic thriller, combining a gripping plot and lead characters of remarkable depth…Readers who grab this one but aren’t familiar with its predecessors will be seeking them out. A series to savor.” — Booklist (starred review), on Their Little Secret A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy. Ellen thought the reports warranted further investigation, but no-one else inside Justice seemed to think so.

What makes it more stressful for Harry is that he cannot reach Ellen by phone. Is she throwing him under the bus? Did she set him up? Or is there a mole in her office keeping them from speaking with one another? Someone knows something as they are always one step ahead. Harry is in their way and they want him gone.

Mark Billingham has brought a rare and welcome blend of humanity, dimension, and excitement to the genre.”—George Pelecanos
Harry Duncan gave me very big Liam Neeson from Taken vibes. He has very particular and very good skill sets which he utilizes throughout the story to solve the case. And the case? Every time he unfurls one strand of it, a bunch more show up all knotted together. A missing little girl named Maggie Rose . . . a family of three brutally murdered in the projects of Washington, D.C. . . . the thrill-killing of a beautiful elementary school teacher . . . a psychopathic serial kidnapper/murderer who is so terrifying that the FBI, the Secret Service, and the police cannot outsmart him - even after he's been captured. Will Harry be able to get enough proof for the FBI, or are there other higher-ups protecting the organized crime group? With each of his books, Mark Billingham gets better and better. These are stories and characters you don’t want to leave.”—Michael Connelly Masterly…the intricate plot matches superior characterizations.

I have written novels that have sold more than 70 million copies around the world but mysuccess as a guy “who makes it up” came after a career as a journalist who covered lawenforcement and crime for newspapers on both coasts,” said Michael Connelly. “No matterwhat success I achieve as a storyteller I have always and will always feel I am still a journalist atheart — I put the truth in my novels and I research them like a reporter on a story. In the lastcouple years as I have seen a growing threat against the integrity of journalism and lawenforcement, it has awakened a desire in me to return in some way to telling the real stories ofthe unsung heroes of law enforcement. What better place than in a podcast, which I view as thenew arena of journalism. It is not the written truth but the spoken truth. The Murder Bookpodcast will tell it like it is from the front line of the justice system, exploring the stories of lawofficers who are relentless in their pursuit of justice and the truth.
