Description

The Restless Dead by Simon Beckett A human body, composed of over sixty per cent water, is not naturally buoyant. However, if the water is warm enough for bacteria to feed and multiply, it will continue to decompose, causing gases to build up in the intestines and increasing the body's buoyancy. This process can lead to the dead rising again. Dr David Hunter, a respected forensics expert, is facing an uncertain future when he is called upon to assist the Essex police with a badly decomposed body found in a desolate area of tidal mudflats and saltmarsh. The remains are thought to be those of Leo Villiers, the son of a prominent businessman who vanished weeks ago. As Hunter delves into the case, he must navigate the complexities of decomposition and the potential for hidden secrets. The discovery of more remains in these remote wetlands sets off a chain of events that will uncover the truth. With its eerie and claustrophobic sense of place, this crime fiction novel offers a masterclass in the genre, featuring explosive moments and a stunning return of a beloved character.
