About the book
Edge of the seat crime fiction. A Word With The Dead is the engrossing 17th novel from bestselling crime author Rhys Dylan. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Simon McCleave, and Peter Robinson.
A body discovered in the hills. A man who has gone missing. An unreliable witness.
When a drone reveals a deceased cyclist in the rural landscape of West Wales, DCI Evan Warlow becomes involved in a complex investigation where evidence is limited, suspects are elusive, and the true reason for the crime lies hidden beneath layers of influence and deception.
From a quiet hospital room to a dark forest trail, this is not just a murder mystery - it is a tale that uncovers the realities of a whole community.
Engrossing, evocative, and eerily relevant.
