'Darkly entertaining police procedural with a difference' CRIME REVIEW'Fizzes with life' - STUART TURTON, Costa First Novel Award winner'A thrilling ride with dark humour, action and a touching side that's hard to forget' SUN five stars (book of the week)WHO BETTER TO SOLVE 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 dead body and a spirit guide called Daisy-May. She's there to enlist him to the Dying Squad, a spectral police force made up of the recently deceased.

Joe soon realises there are fates far worse than death.

To escape being stuck in purgatory, he must solve his own murder.

Reluctantly partnering with Daisy-May, Joe faces dangers from both the living and the dead in the quest to find his killer - before they kill again.
