    Max and Tom are old, old friends, once actors. Tom now owns a jazz nightclub called Deadbeat which, as well as being their source of income, is also something of an in-joke. In a dark suburban churchyard one night they see a group of men are loading a coffin into the back of a van.

    But, why would you be taking a full coffin away from a graveyard and, more importantly, why is the occupant still breathing? Tom and Max are on the case. God help us...
    “Guy Adams has established a well-rounded group of characters within a supernaturally noirish setting that I have instantly fallen for, and I await their next adventure with relish.” – Hell Notes 

    “A highly recommended, action-packed thriller.” – Nerds in Babeland    

    “Guy Adams gifted the world one of the finest novels of 2013. Deadbeat is an absolutely amazing read that offers a little bit of everything, and demands a second read. It’s a clear-cut masterpiece, and anyone who hasn’t read the novel yet is missing something truly special.” – Horror Novel Reviews
    Guy Adams trained and worked as an actor for twelve years before becoming a full-time writer. He is the co-author of The Case Notes of Sherlock Holmes, has written several tie-ins to the TV series Life on Mars. His most recently published novel is Restoration, the follow-up to the much-praised horror novel, The World House.
