Down Among the Dead Men

Author:Ed Chatterton

The dark, gritty second novel in the Detective Inspector Frank Keane series.

At first glance, the bloody crime scene in suburban Liverpool looks like a straightforward murder-suicide – the husband kills the wife and then himself. But what of their missing teenage son, Nicky? Is he their prime suspect or the third victim?

With Nicky’s holiday job on a film being shot in the city bringing unwanted press attention, newly-promoted head of the Merseyside Major Incident Team DCI Frank Keane knows that time is running out to find the boy.

But all too soon the case starts unravelling into one that will test Keane to the limit – and haunt him to his dying day.

There is no denying [Chatterton’s] novel’s visceral power and the vivid picture it draws of one of Britain’s great cities.

If Police Procedurals with a strong female main character are your bag, grab a copy of The Advent Killer ... actually... buy a few - they'd make a great Christmas gift for any Crime Fiction lover

Gunn cleverly builds suspense throughout his fantastic debut novel...The Advent Killer was a well written read from this debut novelist, who shows a great promise of things to come.

If you're looking for a gripping, gruesome, fast-paced page-turner that will keep you guessing right up until the killer's identity is revealed...then The Advent Killer is for you. I found myself happily racing through it in a couple of sittings, and I'd defy anyone who picked it up not to want to do the same
