?I think you?re missing something, what did you noticeabout the woman in the coffin? ...She was breathing.Not a common habit amongst the dead.?It?s the middle of the night and, in a dark suburban churchyard, a group of men are loading a coffin into the back of a transit van.But why would you be taking a full coffin away from a graveyard and, more importantly, why is the occupant still breathing?The matter obviously needs thorough investigation by the best, most capable authorities.Which is a pity as the only two witnesses are a pair of drunken ex-theatricals with reasons of their own to avoid the police.Tom Harris (nightclub owner) and Max Jackson (habitual barfly) are on the case.God help us...Deadbeat is the first in a series of adventures set in the secret underbelly of contemporary London, a place where the dead walk, magic can be bought on street corners and anything is possible.Frankly, it?s just like every other Pulp Crime/Horror/Zombie/Comedy/Thriller you?ve ever read.
