Summary
To his friends, his foes and even to
himself it looks as though Tom Thorne's career is on the skids.
On his last case he had seriously over-stepped the mark, and
now gardening leave has been suggested and all he has to tend
is a window box. So when it appears someone is targeting
London's homeless community it seems pefectly natural for
Thorne to take a step nearer to the gutter and go undercover
amongst them. He blends into the sometimes invisble community
easily - too easily perhaps - but the information he gleans
quickly proves that this is no random killer, it is someone
with a very distinct purpose and a very specific list of
victims, only the team supporting Thorne from the outside don't
have the key to motive or identity. Then somehow the fact that
a policeman is working under cover becomes public knowledge ...
With acute observation of character and place, combined with
his acknowledged mastery of plotting, LIFELESS raises the
Thorne series to an even higher level.
