From the Dead

Ten years after Donna Langford was convicted for orchestrating the murder of her abusive husband, Alan, his charred remains discovered in a burnt-out Jaguar, she is preparing for release from Wakefield Prison. However, a shocking anonymous letter arrives, containing a recent photograph of Alan, the man she paid to have killed. Now, Detective Inspector Tom Thorne is thrust into a bizarre investigation: tracking a man who was declared dead a decade ago. This unprecedented case forces Thorne to confront the complexities of justice and the lingering shadows of a past crime. When Donna's daughter mysteriously vanishes, Thorne realizes he's pursuing two intertwined trails of deceit, revenge, and danger. Both paths lead him deeper into a sinister web, suggesting a ruthless killer is determined to bury the truth permanently. Billingham masterfully weaves a tale of suspense that explores the dark facets of love, betrayal, and the unpredictable consequences of a life thought to be extinguished.
