A SERIES OF KILLINGS. 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?

A DEADLY MISSION. 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 fifteen-year-old atrocity.

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

Lifeless by Mark Billingham delves into the gritty underbelly of London, weaving a chilling tale of murder, deception, and justice.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Complex, thought-provoking, and at times very funny, this novel is a tour de force (Observer). Praised as an assured and shocking thriller (The Guardian), it offers a cunning twist on the serial-murder theme (Sunday Telegraph), delivering some of the best murder and mystery writing around (What's On in London).
