Description

Discover the first of the two masterful hit novels adapted for the massive new BBC One Drama series In The Dark , featuring brilliant heroine Helen Weeks. 'Clever and inventive' Financial Times Two schoolgirls are abducted in the small, dying Warwickshire town of Polesford, driving a knife into the heart of the community where police officer Helen Weeks grew up. But this is a place full of secrets, where dangerous truths lie buried. When family man Stephen Bates has been arrested, Helen and her partner Tom Thorne head to the flooded town to support Bates' wife - an old school friend of Helen's - who is living under siege and convinced of her husband's innocence. As residents and media bay for Bates' blood, a decomposing body is found. The police believe they have their murderer, but one man believes otherwise. With a girl still missing, Helen sets herself on a collision course with local police, townsfolk - and a merciless killer. The hugely acclaimed latest novel in Mark Billingham's bestselling series, Love Like Blood , is out now.

What lingers in the memory is the group portrait of the Polesford locals brutally closing ranks against a man they're certain deserves to die.
