Biographical note
Mark Billingham has won numerous awards, being one of only two authors to twice win the Theakston's Old Peculier Award for Crime Novel of the Year. Each of his novels has been a Sunday Times bestseller, including all those in his two series, Tom Thorne and Declan Miller. Sleepyhead and Scaredy Cat were made into a hit TV series on Sky 1, and a series based on the novels In the Dark and Time of Death was broadcast on BBC1. Mark lives in north London with his wife and two children.<i>Cry Baby</i> is the perfect prequel to send us back to revel in Tom Thorne's twenty years. As if we needed reminding how good Mark Billingham is.
Val McDermid
Tom Thorne is one of the most credible and engaging heroes in contemporary crime fiction. Mark Billingham is a master of psychology, plotting and the contemporary scene - making the Thorne novels the complete package. Twenty years in and better than ever.

John Connolly
What a treat. <i>Cry Baby</i> works as a way into the series, but it's even more entertaining for us aficionados to see the origin story of Billingham's hero, watching him become the man who would make his debut in <i>Sleepyhead</i>
Observer
Written with Billingham's characteristic flair and drive, with a protagonist who stalks every page
Daily Mail
Established fans and newcomers alike will be thrilled
Publishers Weekly
Mark Billingham has created a backstory for Thorne that is every bit as engrossing as you can expect. For me, the best prequel in the business is <i>Endeavour</i>, which looks at the backstory and development of Inspector Morse. <i>Cry Baby</i> is that good
Globe and Mail
Billingham is an absolute crackerjack of a writer [...] <i>Cry Baby</i> is an exceptionally thrilling mystery
Winnipeg Free Press
For anyone that hasn't read a Thorne novel yet <i>Cry Baby</i> will show them what they have been missing for the past two decades
