To his friends, his foes and even to himself it looks as though Tom Thorne's career is on the skids. On his last case he had seriously over-stepped the mark, and now gardening leave has been suggested and all he has to tend is a window box. So when it appears someone is targeting London's homeless community it seems perfectly natural for Thorne to take a step nearer to the gutter and go undercover amongst them. He blends into the sometimes invisible community easily - too easily perhaps - but the information he gleans quickly proves that this is no random killer, it is someone with a very distinct purpose and a very specific list of victims, only the team supporting Thorne from the outside don't have the key to motive or identity. Then somehow the fact that a policeman is working under cover becomes public knowledge ... With acute observation of character and place, combined with his acknowledged mastery of plotting, LIFELESS raises the Thorne series to an even higher level.

Tom Thorne´s career is on the skids. Depressed by the recent loss of his father, berated for overstepping the mark on his last case, he´s been ´encouraged´ to take leave. It´s a fairly dire situation. But not as dire as the situation for London´s homeless. Three vagrants have been found murdered in the last month. Were they just random jetsam, or were they targeted for a reason? With his deputy, Dave Holland, as his only contact, Thorne is seconded to the streets. Not as a policeman, but as one of life´s rejects. It fits: he looks the part, and feels it as well. In this twilight netherworld he finds a society with its own rules and its own moral code. And the word on these streets is that the killer is a cop. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Glenister. Audio sample: http://samples.audible.de/bk/twuk/000015/bk_twuk_000015_sample.mp3.
