Why We Die: Mick Herron

When Zoe Boehm agrees to track down the gang who robbed Sweeney`s jewellery shop, she`s just hoping to break even in time for tax season. She certainly doesn`t expect to wind up in a coffin.

But she`s about to become entangled with a strange collection of characters, starting with suicidal Tim Whitby, who`s dedicating what`s left of his life to protecting Katrina Blake from her late husband`s sociopathic brothers, Arkle and Trent.

Unfortunately for Zoe, Arkle has a crossbow, Tim has nothing left to lose, and even Katrina has her secrets. And death, like taxes, can`t be avoided forever.
