The Killing Habit (Tom Thorne Novels)

Product Information

DI Tom Thorne knows the psychological profile of such offenders all too well, so when he is tasked with catching a notorious killer of domestic cats, he sees the chance to stop a series of homicides before they happen. Part of that was down to him of course, and it was no more than common sense; the thorough preparations, the thought he put into it. He was no expert when it came to forensics, but he knew enough to avoid leaving any sorts of traces. Victims had never been hard to find, quite the opposite, but still, each night’s work needed to be treated with caution. While DI Nicola Tanner investigates the deadly spread of a dangerous new drug, Tom Thorne is handed a case that he doesn't take too seriously, until a spate of animal killings points to the work of a serial killer.

As in last year’s Love Like Blood, which dealt with the topic of honour killings, or The Bones Beneath, which took part of its inspiration from the Moors Murderer Ian Brady, the strength of the DI Thorne novels is in the knowledge that all of this could be real.
