Why We Die by Mick Herron

Why We Die by Mick Herron

When Tim Whitby checks into a hotel, he's not intending to check out again - but then he meets Katrina Blake, a woman in need of rescue. When Arkle, Baxter and Trent inherit the family business, they're not planning on making a go of it - there are quicker ways of getting rich, if you're not squeamish about the violence involved. And when Zoe Boehm agrees to track down the masked men who robbed Harold Sweeney's jewellery shop, she's hoping to pay off the taxes she's avoided. She's not expecting to wind up in a coffin. But Arkle has a crossbow; Tim has a life that's run out of purpose, and even battered Katrina has her secrets. And death, like taxes, can't be avoided forever.

"'Frighteningly plausible' Sunday Telegraph 'A finely drawn, tense suspense' Poisoned Pen 'Stylish and engaging' Washington Post 'Tough, bright and highly promising' Chicago Tribune 'Thoroughly worth reading' Booklist 'Simply stunning' New Mystery Reader Magazine 'Tight, literary and cliche free' Publishers Weekly"
