The Deader the Better

The Deader the Better

by G . M . Ford (Author)

Synopsis

Leo isn't looking for trouble when he and Rebecca, his forensic pathologist girlfriend, escape from Seattle for a few days of relaxation - it just finds him. An old friend has purchased some choice property in North America's only rainforest, and his posting of No Trespassing signs has incurred the wrath of every boater, hunter, and fisherman for miles around. What starts as irksome harassment by the offended locals escalates quickly into the realm of the lethal. And it's just Waterman's luck to be in the epicenter of this murderous mess at the very moment it bursts into flames. PRAISE FOR LEO WATERMAN SERIES 'Crime aficionados will probably already have clocked G.M.Ford, whose wisecracking, world-wary style resembles Chandler, and whose Seattle-based private eye, Leo Waterman, is a mostly unreconstructed old hippy ...Vintage stuff' DAILY MAIL 'Ford's well-paced and good-humoured narrative climaxes unexpectedly with a shockingly violent confrontation' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
