DI Tom Thorne

It's only ten days since Douglas Remfry's release from prison, having served seven years for rape, and now he's dead: naked on a bare mattress in a grubby north London hotel room, his head hooded and his hands tied with a brown leather belt.

Someone knew he was coming out. Someone wanted to mete out some punishment of his own.

And when a second sex offender is found dead, DI Tom Thorne knows he has a vicious, calculating vigilante on his hands...

Book 3 in the DI Tom Thorne series.

Three men, sleeping rough on London's mean streets, have been found brutally murdered - each victim kicked to death and found with a £20 note pinned to his chest. But were they killed at random, or were they targeted for a reason?

Tom Thorne is posted to the same streets - working undercover, disguised as a homeless man. In a harsh and harrowing underworld, Thorne discovers the horrifying link between the homeless victims and the perpetrators of a 15-year-old atrocity.

Those who know are keeping quiet. But the word on these streets is that the killer is a cop...
