The really good thing about finally getting some wet weather in these parts is that you get some reading done! So I'm really doing some catching up. IN THE DARK is a standalone from the wonderful Mark Billingham which has been lurking here for quite some time.
From the Blurb:
A deadly crash
A dangerous quest
A shocking twist
Opening Lines:
Helen Weeks was used to waking up feeling sick, feeling like she'd hardly slept, and feeling like she was on her own, whether Paul was lying beside her or not.
A rainy night in south London. A gun is fired into a car which swerves on to the pavement, killing the person standing at a bus stop. It seems that a chilling gang initiation has cost an innocent victim their life. But the reality is far more sinister.
