Their Little Secret

- With Love Like Blood, a #5 Sunday Times bestseller in the UK, Billingham brought back his hit series character DI Tom Thorne and paired him up for the first time with the straight-laced DI from Nicola Tanner from his hit thriller Die of Shame. In The Killing Habit, he brought the unlikely but compelling duo back together to great success, and he's teamed them up again in Their Little Secret.
- This latest installation of the Thorne series is driven by a disturbingly compelling story of obsession, feautring a couple who embark on a killing spree to fuel their passion, like a murderous Bonnie and Clyde.
- Sales for Mark Billingham's thrillers have been consistently solid for Grove/Atlantic, with inventory nearly selling out, and extremely strong library sales.
- Mark Billingham is one of the UK's top crime writers. His books have sold over 6 million copies worldwide and have been translated into twenty-five languages.

- In the Dark, a 4-part BBC adaptation of Billingham's novel of the same name combined with Time of Death, aired in the UK in summer 2017 to a flurry of publicity. Billingham was featured in the first episode of a new true crime documentary series in the UK called "Written in Blood" to talk about the inspiration for Love Like Blood. The episode aired in September 2017 on CBS Reality and has reached over 6.64 million viewers. A BBC adaptation of Rush of Blood is also under development.
