YOU CAN RUN

The two boys never fitted in. Seventeen, the worst age, nothing to do but smoke weed; at least they have each other. The day they speed off on a moped with a stolen mobile, theyre ready to celebrate their luck at last. Until their victim comes looking for whats his - and ready to kill for it.

YOU CAN HIDE

On the other side of Kents wealth divide, DS Alexandra Cupidi faces the strangest murder investigation of her career. A severed limb, hidden inside a modern sculpture in Margates Turner Contemporary. No one takes it seriously - not even the artworks owners, celebrity dealers who act like theyre above the law.

YOU CAN DIE

But as Cupidis case becomes ever more sinister, as she wrangles with police politics and personal dilemmas, she cant help worrying about those runaway boys. Seventeen, the same age as her own headstrong daughter. Alone, on the marshes, theyre pawns in someone elses game. Two worlds are about to collide.

Kent and its social divisions are brilliantly captured in Deadland, a crime thriller thats as ingeniously unguessable as it is moving and powerful.
