Why We Die by Mick Herron

*From the creator of SLOW HORSES and soon to be a major TV series starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson*

'If you haven't read Zoë Boehm yet, welcome to your next fiction addiction' Val McDermid, author of Past Lying

'Herron is a stylish writer with a mordant sensibility and a deadly wit. He's also a tricky plotter' New York Times Book Review


When Zoë Boehm agrees to track down the gang who robbed Sweeney's jewellery shop, she's just hoping to break even in time for tax season. She certainly doesn't expect to wind up in a coffin.

But she's about to become entangled with a strange collection of characters, starting with suicidal Tim Whitby, who's dedicating what's left of his life to protecting the pretty, battered Katrina Blake from her late husband's sociopathic brothers, Arkle and Trent.

Unfortunately for Zoë, Arkle has a crossbow, Tim has nothing left to lose, and even Katrina has her secrets. And death, like taxes, can't be avoided forever.

If you haven't read Zoë Boehm yet, welcome to your next fiction addiction -- Val McDermid, author of PAST LYING
