[Inspector Thanet 06] • Dead on Arrival

**A British detective must find the killer of a much-despised villager in this mystery from “a modern-day version of Agatha Christie” (*Booklist*).**

Det. Inspector Luke Thanet is brought in when a dead man is found in bed, apparently killed by a single blow with a blunt object. When the corpse is identified as Steven Long, the question is no longer who wanted to kill him, but who didn’t? A troublemaker with enemies wherever he went, Long was loathed by everyone in town, from his long-suffering ex-wife to the man whose family he killed in a driving accident. To find the culprit, Thanet will have to get to the bottom of a lifetime of hate.

The long-running series featuring Detective Inspector Thanet, which includes *The Night She Died *and CWA Silver Dagger winner *Last Seen Alive*, is perfect for fans of P. D. James and classic police procedurals. *Dead on Arrival* is “an intriguing tale not to be missed” (*Yorkshire Post*).

Dead on Arrival *is the 6th book in the Inspector Thanet Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.*
