Deadbeat S.
3 primary works
Book 1
"I think you’re missing something, what did you notice about the woman in the coffin? …She was breathing. Not a common habit amongst the dead." --
It’s the middle of the night and, in a dark suburban churchyard, a group of men are loading a coffin into the back of a transit van.
But why would you be taking a full coffin away from a graveyard and, more importantly, why is the occupant still breathing?
The matter obviously needs thorough investigation by the best, most capable authorities.
Which is a pity as the only two witnesses are a pair of drunken ex-theatricals with reasons of their own to avoid the police.
Tom Harris (nightclub owner) and Max Jackson (habitual barfly) are on the case.
God help us…
Deadbeat: Makes You Stronger is the first in a series of adventures set the secret underbelly of contemporary London, a place where the dead walk, magic can be bought on street corners and anything is possible.
Frankly, it’s just like every other Pulp Crime/Horror/ Zombie/Comedy/Thriller you’ve ever read.

Book 2
There’s a new drug running rife amongst the Undead community. Once ingested it simulates all of the symptoms of the living, faster pulse, perspiration, the intoxicating rush of blood through your veins…
Not that Max or Tom would be stupid enough to try it of course, they’re far to busy smashing their senses to a pulp working their way though Deadbeat’s new cocktail menu.
But when people start vanishing from the Soho streets and some of their customers disrupt big band nights by keeling over dead for the second time they decide it might be worth looking into, if only to stop profits dropping too far.
Which, in a lifetime of bad decisions, may rank as their worst yet.
Deadbeat: Dogs of Waugh is the second in a series of adventures set in the secret underbelly of contemporary London, a place where the dead walk, magic can be bought on street corners and anything is possible.
