More Deaths Than One - Tapa blanda

When Rupert Fleming’s death is presented as a suicide, Detective Chief Inspector Gil Mayo is immediately suspicious

A freelance journalist, his corpse was found in his Porsche.

But his briefcase and portable typewriter had been taken.

The post-mortem examination reveals that Fleming had been drugged.

Beyond the shadow of a doubt, this was no suicide.

Delving deeper into Fleming's life, Detective Inspector Mayo grows increasingly puzzled.

The dead man lived several separate lives: he had one wife in town and another in the country, yet still found time to frequent the town's amateur theatre—a hotbed of jealousies and intrigues where nothing is quite what it seems.

Methodically unravelling the tangled threads of Fleming's flamboyant and deceitful life, Mayo discovers that the lives of some people closely connected with him were touched by the murdered man.

What does the sister of the woman he loves know about Fleming? And what about the policewoman involved with the theatrical troupe?

Before Mayo can sort out the pieces of this intricate puzzle, the murderer strikes again, and Mayo realizes he must act swiftly before someone he cares about becomes the killer's next victim...

More Deaths than One is an expertly-plotted crime thriller that will keep readers gripped from the first page to the final twist.
