"Three dead coppers, Tom, maybe four by lunchtime."
The targeted murder of four officers is only the first in a series of attacks that leaves police scared, angry and, most disturbingly of all, vengeful.
As Tom Thorne and Nicola Tanner dig into the reasons for the violence, a deeper darkness begins to emerge: the possibility that these murders are payback. The price paid for an unspeakable betrayal.
To uncover the truth, Thorne will be forced to question everything he stands for. He can trust nobody, and the shocking secrets revealed by one terrible night will fracture his entire world.

Critics Review
-
If you want consistent page-turning, character-driven and surprising storytelling, then Mark Billingham is your man. He's gone the distance without stumbling once, been at it for twenty-five years and only gets better novel to novel. There's not many that you can say that about. I can't wait to put everything aside to read the next one
MICHAEL CONNELLY
-
What The Night Brings might well be the best Tom Thorne novel yet. Billingham is in the form of his life
MICK HERRON
-
Billingham's gripping twenty-fifth novel, What the Night Brings, is as suspenseful as it is emotionally charged. It's Billingham's masterful storytelling that makes him stand out as one of crime fiction's finest
KARIN SLAUGHTER
-
A sensational, masterful, sharp and shocking thriller. Mark Billingham needs no introduction, but What the Night Brings is a true standout in one of the great crime series of our time

In What the Night Brings, Tom Thorne is at his dour, brilliant best, hunting down a cop-killer, a journey into darkness that ends in a revelation so shocking it has the legendary detective questioning everything. Topical, wise, and an instant throat-grabber.
VASEEM KHAN
-
One of the best British crime writers of his generation - and worryingly for the rest, he keeps getting better.
JOHN CONNOLLY
-
Billingham is on top form in What the Night Brings. The sense of impending doom starts on the first page and does not let up throughout.
The Times
-
Thorne is back with his most shocking case yet ... [and] this one cuts close to the bone.
