The Dying Squad (The Dying Squad 1)
Adam Simcox

Who better to sold a murder than a dead detective?
 
When Detective Inspector Joe Lazarus storms a Lincolnshire farmhouse, he expects to bring down a notorious drug gang; instead, he discovers his own body and a spirit guide called Daisy-May.
 
She’s there to enlist him to The Dying Squad, a spectral police force who solve crimes their flesh and bloody counterparts cannot.
 
Lazarus reluctantly accepts and returns to the Lincolnshire Badlands, where he faces dangers from both the living and the dead in his quest to discover the identity of his killer – before they kill again.

​Praise

"[A] ​thrilling ride with dark humour, action and a touching side that’s hard to forget."
The Sun


"Adam has crafted something unique with The Dying Squad, mashing fantasy and crime together in a way I've not seen before ... I'm sure it will be a huge success."
James Oswald

“Whip-smart, fresh with a dash of dark humour, The Dying Squad is a wildly entertaining read. Highly recommended.”
Adam Hamdy

"Fresh, inventive and funny. The Dying Squad is superbly plotted and packs an emotional heft rarely seen in a debut."
M. W. Craven

"A fascinating debut ... At times evocative of Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim series, but without its hardboiled cynicism, this is an impressive and memorable debut."
Crime Time

"Witty, intense and addictive."
Scottish Sun
