The Dying Squad (Joe Lazarus 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.

"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."
