We are so excited to be celebrating the publication of A Body on the Flats by Max Manning, out today in the UK with Joffe Books.
A part of the Kane and Granger series, this dark and twisting novel follows Detective Inspector Edison Kane, grappling with thoughts of his wife’s recent murder as he investigates a body washed up on the mudflats near Leigh-on-Sea with his partner DC Bailey Granger. One look at the dead man’s face, and Kane feels himself start to unravel at the sight of his empty eye sockets. His mobile pings with an anonymous message: Murder was so much easier than I thought. See no evil… Kane needs to stop this killer. But he couldn’t protect his wife – and he can’t get justice for her now she’s gone. Why would this case be any different?
Max’s previous novels were widely received with glowing reviews upon publication:
‘This novel’s contemporary details make it vivid, believable, and extra frightening. Social media has never been spookier. Don’t Look Now is criminally captivating.’
ForeWord
‘Don’t Look Now will leave readers waiting for more from Manning. His fast-paced tale, with its unexpected resolution, is a welcome addition to the British-police-procedural shelves.’
