Description
A unique detective thriller—in the best traditions of the genre, but with a completely unusual plot. A detective story where the world of the living and the world of the dead are closely intertwined. A thriller where the main thing is to stay yourself, even if you’re dead. My name is Joe Lazarus. I’m a detective—and I have to solve the murder. My own.
5 reasons to buy the book:

3. An amazing blend of a mystical thriller and a police detective story.

When Detective-Inspector Joe Lazarus set up an ambush at a farm in Lincolnshire, he thought he’d catch a drug-dealing gang. But instead, the detective finds evidence of a slaughter there—and… his own corpse. There’s also a guiding spirit—a girl named Daisy-May. She’s here to recruit him into the “Dead Squad”—a phantom police force made up of people who have recently died.
Soon Joe realizes: there’s something more terrifying than death—Purgatory. And to avoid being trapped forever among a horde of the restless, he must return to Earth in a new body and solve his own murder. But how, if his memories of his past life are rapidly fading and being erased? What’s more, danger now comes not only from the living, but from the dead too. Together with Daisy-May, Joe must find his killer before he dies for good.

“Adam created something unique by combining fantasy and a crime novel in a way never seen before.” — James Oswald
