About this ebook
* Don't miss 'THE CHEMISTRY OF DEATH' TV SERIES - now streaming on Paramount+ *
Adapted from The Chemistry of Death and Written in Bone - starring Harry Treadaway as Dr David Hunter
'Atmospheric . . . a tense, gripping read' Sunday Times
It's not the dead we need to fear. . .
Top forensics expert Dr David Hunter is facing an uncertain future - his career hangs in the balance and his personal life has taken a turn for the worse. So when he gets a call from Essex police, it comes at the perfect time.
A badly decomposed body has been found in the mudflats and salt marshes of the Backwaters. Could it be linked to two unsolved missing-person cases?
But as these desolate wetlands begin to give up their grisly secrets, more remains are discovered.
With its eerie, claustrophobic sense of place, authentic forensics and explosive, heart-in-mouth moments, The Restless Dead is a masterclass in crime fiction.

interesting and with locations similar to reality it becomes another detection to establish the estuary, the sea forts, the pirate station etc on which the novel has drawn, for us living in the approximate area. Good ending that kept me up trying to finish before sleep overcame me. My first book by Simon Beckett but probably not my last

The best quality is that he doesn't release novels too frequently and when he release it that would be great..!!
