Why We Die de M Herron - 2006

In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.


Death is the ultimate stalker, confident and inevitable; the rest are inadequate voyeurs...

When Tim Whitby checks into a hotel, he's not intending to check out again - but then he meets Katrina Blake, a woman in need of rescue.

When Arkle, Baxter and Trent inherit the family business, they're not planning on making a go of it - there are quicker ways of getting rich, if you're not squeamish about the violence involved.

And when Zoë Boehm agrees to track down the masked men who robbed Harold Sweeney's jewellery shop, she's just looking for some cash to pay off the taxman. She's not expecting to wind up in a coffin.

But Arkle has a crossbow, Tim has a life that's run out of purpose, and even battered Katrina has her secrets.

And death, like taxes, can't be avoided for ever.
