Synopsis

* Don't miss 'THE CHEMISTRY OF DEATH' TV SERIES - now streaming on Paramount+ *

Adapted from The Chemistry of Death and Written in Bone - starring Harry Treadaway as Dr David Hunter

'Atmospheric . . . a tense, gripping read' Sunday Times

It's not the dead we need to fear. . .

Top forensics expert Dr David Hunter is facing an uncertain future - his career hangs in the balance and his personal life has taken a turn for the worse. So when he gets a call from Essex police, it comes at the perfect time.

A badly decomposed body has been found in the mudflats and salt marshes of the Backwaters. Could it be linked to two unsolved missing-person cases?

But as these desolate wetlands begin to give up their grisly secrets, more remains are discovered.

With its eerie, claustrophobic sense of place, authentic forensics and explosive, heart-in-mouth moments, The Restless Dead is a masterclass in crime fiction.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

æComposed of over sixty per cent water itself, a human body isnÆt naturally buoyant. It will float only for as long as there is air in its lungs, before gradually sinking to the bottom as the air seeps out. If the water is very cold or deep, it will remain there, undergoing a slow, dark dissolution that can take years. But if the water is warm enough for bacteria to feed and multiply, then it will continue to decompose. Gases will build up in the intestines, increasing the bodyÆs buoyancy until it floats again.
