Rush of Blood by Mark Billingham5/24/2023 'I didn't think you were coming back,' the prisoner says. The question is: What could be shameful enough to cost someone their life? And how do you find the truth when secrets, lies, and denial are second nature to all of your suspects? If she is to find the killer, she will need to use less obvious means. The investigation is hampered by the strict confidentiality that binds these individuals and their therapist together, which makes things difficult for Detective Inspector Nicola Tanner, a woman who can appreciate the desire to keep personal matters private. But when one of the group is murdered, it quickly becomes apparent that someone else in that circle is responsible. All they have in common is a history of addiction. A respected doctor, a well-heeled housewife, a young male prostitute. Every Monday evening, six people gather in a smart North London house to talk about shame. From British thriller master Mark Billingham, a recent finalist for the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library, Die of Shame is a chilling story of addiction, subterfuge, and murder.
