Forensics expert Dr David Hunter returns in the menacing, skin-pricklingly tense new crime thriller from Simon Beckett - the number one bestselling author of The Chemistry of Death.
Simon Beckett is the No.1 international bestselling author of the
David Hunter series- The Chemistry of
Death, Written in Bone, Whispers of the Dead, The Calling of the
Grave, The Restless Dead and The Scent of Death. His books have
been translated into 29 languages, appeared in the Sunday Times top
10 bestseller lists and sold over 10 million copies worldwide. A
former freelance journalist, he has written for The Times, Daily
Telegraph, Independent on Sunday and Observer. The inspiration for
the first David Hunter novel came after a visit to the
world-renowned Body Farm in Tennessee introduced him to the work of
forensic anthropologists.
Joint-winner (with Arne Dahl) of Europe's largest crime fiction
prize - the Ripper Award 2018/19 - he has also won the Raymond
Chandler Society's Marlowe Award and been short-listed for the CWA
Gold Dagger, CWA Dagger in the Library and Theakston's Crime Novel

Bruises and Where There's Smoke. Simon Beckett lives in Sheffield.
A deep dive into darkness. Simon Beckett's masterful storytelling
and macabre forensic details make his novels utterly chilling
reads
*TESS GERRITSEN*
Atmospheric . . . a tense, gripping read.
*SUNDAY TIMES*
The forensics are chillingly authentic, the writing is both taut
and beautifully atmospheric.
*ANN CLEEVES, bestselling author of the Vera Stanhope series*
Beckett is one of the country’s best crime writers . . . His books
are intelligent, beautifully written and utterly gripping.
*SUNDAY EXPRESS*
An utterly absorbing, atmospheric mystery that will keep you
guessing to the very last page. It's no surprise that millions of
readers devour Simon Beckett's books - he's a terrific writer.
*ANTONIA HODGSON, author of the award-winning The Devil in the
Marshalsea*
Disturbing, tense, and entertaining . . . Simon Beckett is a
literate and dexterous novelist. The Restless Dead is a luxuriously
dark and compelling read. It's also highly addictive.
*CRIMESQUAD*
I always enjoy books with a strong sense of place and The Restless
Dead has that in bucket-loads. Simon Beckett makes excellent use of
the creeks and tides of a desolate but strangely beautiful area of
coast . . . the plot is clever and well-constructed. The forensic
detail . . . is as gruesome as it is fascinating and will no doubt
go down well with anyone who – like me – enjoys reading anything by
Kathy Reichs.
