No Sleep for the Dead

The third outing for London's top female investigative reporter and investigative journalist Riley Gavin has problems: work is thin on the ground, her long-distance love life looks set to stay that way, and former redcap Frank Palmer, her occasional sidekick, has disappeared after a disturbing chance encounter. As if that isn’t enough, they are being watched by a shadowy figure in dreadlocks. When Frank eventually surfaces, his determination to pursue justice for an old friend puts him and Riley in deadly danger from past enemies, vicious gangstas and the sticky threads of British Intelligence – not to mention a bitter old woman with a burning desire for revenge... REVIEWS: "Magson is getting into his stride. Well-paced... lively... The relationship between elegant Riley and crumpled Palmer is nicely portrayed and I look forward to their next appearance." Martin Edwards (The Harry Devlin Mysteries) - Tangled Web Books "As with all Riley Gavin & Frank Palmer stories, action packed from start to finish...touches of humour...guaranteed to keep you reading.” Monsters & Critics "Magson’s settings are immediately recognisable, and therefore more threatening. His strengths are his clean, fluent prose, and the ability to plot efficiently. Read NO SLEEP FOR THE DEAD… enjoy it." Reviewing the Evidence "The tale is well told, the pacing good, the characters well thought out... Highly entertaining." Bill Webb - iloveamystery (US)
