Sinopsis

Elderly Londoner Augustus has lived a long, miserable life.  Having driven his few remaining loved ones away years ago, he now whiles away his time drinking rum and hoping for the end.
 
 
 
One night his death wish is nearly granted by a mugger, but a local youth called Michael intervenes.  Much to the old man's horror (and fascination) Michael promptly begins to devour the mugger's body.
 
 
 
Slowly, Augustus and his mysterious saviour form an unlikely friendship, one built on sharing the gifts of trust, camaraderie, and acceptance.
 
 
 
And one last gift: a secret.  It is the cause of Michael's cannibalistic nature.  And, perhaps, a reason for Augustus to go on living…

    Nothing bad ever happens in the countryside… right? 
    When a farmer and his son go missing whilst chasing rustlers, DCI Evan Warlow and his team are called in to investigate. Everything points to a botched raid by heartless thieves, but with no bodies, and little or no clues, the team quickly start chasing their tails. 
    The close-knit community reels from the shock, but not everyone the team comes across is being entirely honest, and it quickly transpires that, under their prim and proper facades, some have secrets they are desperate to keep. 
    But even Warlow isn’t prepared for the monstrous truth when, like a rabid sheepdog, it finally sits up and bites him on the leg. 
    He’s too busy trying not to get killed himself. 
    Suffer The Dead is the fourth book in the DCI Warlow bestselling series of fast-paced Black Beacons thrillers by Rhys Dylan. Set in the heart of wild Wales, this dark murder mystery populated by true to life characters will keep you guessing. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk. JM Dalgliesh and Simon McCleave. Celtic noir with a spattering of dark humour.
