Summary

Sometimes, ambition can be a dangerous thing.

When a wannabe gangster kills a rival dealer and steals their drugs, he thinks he's made the big time. But all he's done is become the most wanted man in London and it's not just the police hunting him down.

For Detective Inspector Simon Wise, the murder of a drug dealer seems an easy case for his team to solve. But he should know London doesn't do easy. Someone else is searching for the stolen drugs and they don't care who they kill to get them back.

Still haunted by ghosts from his past and with his personal life falling apart, the odds are stacked against Wise as he tries to stop more bodies from piling up. Can he find the killer in time, or will he end up dead himself?

TALKING OF THE DEAD is the third book in the DI Simon Wise Crime Thriller series, set on the streets of London. If you like gripping police procedurals, dark characters, and a relentless pace, then this book is for you.

This gripping pause resister is perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James, Simon McCleave, L.J. Ross, Alex Smith and J.M. Dalgliesh.

Another gripping chapter!

This is the third full length novel in the story goes from strength to strength. There’s a lot of twists in this one and a few gut punch moments that I didn’t see coming.

The writing is great as always and the narration is top notch. Can’t wait for book 4.

None stop

What a way to start a great series of books and to leave you wanting more. Michael Dylan has cemented himself, in my mind, as one of the top detective authors. He’s left an extremely high benchmark for him to aspire to in his next book. Personally I can’t wait for it..let’s hope it’s soon. Narration was fabulous and faultless too.
