About this listen

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.

Basically good but casually corrupt cops who don't follow the rules and get into scrapes, largely of their own making. Some good storylines though. The end had some exciting moments but then it ended on a cliffhanger - or more specifically, an obvious set up for the next book.

Good ending
