Publisher Description
'One of the great series of British crime fiction' --- THE TIMES
It's 1996. Detective Sergeant Tom Thorne is a haunted man. Haunted by the moment he ignored his instinct about a suspect, by the horrific crime that followed and by the memories that come day and night, in sunshine and shadow.
So when seven-year-old Kieron Coyne goes missing while playing in the woods with his best friend, Thorne vows he will not make the same mistake again. Cannot.
The solitary witness. The strange neighbour. The friendly teacher. All are in Thorne's sights.
This case will be the making of him . . . or the breaking.
The gripping prequel to Mark Billingham's acclaimed debut, Sleepyhead, Cry Baby is the shocking first case for one of British crime fiction's most iconic detectives.
'Cry Baby is the perfect prequel to send us back to revel in Tom Thorne's twenty years. As if we needed reminding how good Mark Billingham is'
VAL MCDERMID
'Tom Thorne is one of the most credible and engaging heroes in contemporary crime fiction. Mark Billingham is a master of psychology, plotting and the contemporary scene - making the Thorne novels the complete package. Twenty years in and better than ever'
IAN RANKIN
'Mark Billingham is one the biggest names in crime fiction and one the genre's most formidable talents'
PETER JAMES
'Billingham is always a must read'

Cry Baby
What an Author! I have soon read all his books and all the other English and Scottish Authors I love spending time with through their books, knowing that they all got deep insight into the Psychology of people and the way to many of us turn to revenge and hate to make sure our desires, greediness or pettiness which destroys peoples lives help them to hide their mean ways. Thank you again for an interesting story. Thank you to all of you, Peter James, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Ellie Griffith and many more for your creativity and boldness. I regard anyone willing to speak up, analyze or write about the wrongdoings of both state and humans as my mates in spirit. I wish you all will consider writing more deeply of the cruelness behind four walls. Am sure you know that if it was possible to write about what has happened in a family for generations the events would be even more devestating than you are able to inmagine. The impact of it all and why bullying as one example unfortunately will never end.
