Here at Dead Good we just can’t get enough of Christopher Fowler’s Bryant and May tales, so you can only imagine our excitement upon starting this book. In Strange Tide, we find our beloved detectives in dire straits: the Peculiar Crimes Unit is being pulled apart by a grisly murder investigation that is as murky as the river in which it took place.

Keep You Close by Lucie Whitehouse – 10th March
From the author of Before We Met comes this glittering new thriller.

The Rose of Tibet by Lionel Davidson – 3rd March
Charles Houston travels to the forbidden land of Tibet in search of his filmmaker brother who is believed to be dead. This is a tale of suspense and adventure that feels all at once comfortingly nostalgic and refreshingly original – a highly recommended read from the author of Kolymsky Heights.

Deaver returns with his newest blockbuster thriller, and we think it may be one of his best yet. Amelia Sachs and Lincoln Rhyme find themselves on the hunt for a terrifying perpetrator who takes everyday objects and turns them into murder weapons. We know we’ll never look at an escalator in the same way again.

Predator by Wilbur Smith – 24th March
Predator, the latest instalment in the Hector Cross series, is an unapologetically action-packed story about one man’s dogged pursuit for revenge. With stunning settings and larger-than-life characters, this thrill-ride of a read grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go.

The Other Side of Silence by Philip Kerr – 29th March
The year is 1956, and Bernie Gunther, our sardonic former Berlin homicide detective and unwilling SS officer, is now living on the French Riviera. Fans of Gunther’s capers will relish this corkscrew ride involving espionage, blackmail and murder, and newcomers to the series will find themselves desperate to tear into Kerr’s previous novels once they’ve finished.
