Lazybones

A MONSTER MURDERED. It's only ten days since Douglas Remfry's release from prison, having served seven years for rape and now he's dead: naked on a bare mattress in a grubby north London hotel room, his head hooded and his hands tied with a brown leather belt.

A DEADLY JUSTICE. Someone knew he was coming out. Someone wanted to mete out some punishment of his own.

A CASE NO ONE WANTS SOLVED. And when a second sex offender is found dead, DI Tom Thorne knows he has a vicious, calculating viliglante on his hands...

Winner of Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2005 (UK)
