Resumen del Editor

PI Kenny Gabriel is hunting ghosts from the past. But some of them are hunting him back.

When a disgraced politician is found dead at his London flat, there are few people who mourn his demise. George Dent’s reputation was in tatters, and his suicide surprises nobody - except one.

Dent’s childhood friend Peter Timms is certain the MP’s downfall was a set-up; why else was he being stalked in the weeks before his death? Timms can even name the culprit - the only problem is, he’s been dead for seventy years. But broke PI Kenny Gabriel can’t afford to be cynical. He agrees to round up Dent’s old school gang, although some of them are less than keen to be found.

Meanwhile, Meg Dylan, matriarch of a North London crime family, is hot on Kenny’s heels with another case. As pressure mounts on both sides, Kenny knows he must find the truth behind this ghost - or become one himself.

Kenny Gabriel Is A Real Detective With Scruples

I just found this book 2 in the series listed. Not sure where I was when it was released but I’ve read it now in 2 days. Another great adventure with Kenny Gabriel and his scruffy cohorts. Never sure if Kenny will survive his involvement with some of London’s lower class gangster. In this one Billy and his gang are out to get him. Billy’s mom sounds worse than Billy. A misadventure by some school boys into a cemetery binds them all with a well known dark spirit. Did they see the those of Alexandre Poreous? Who is killing them off and why. It is a mystery in a mystery and is very intriguing. Turns out his involvement with Billy’s wife is not the worst event to happen but it causes Kenny to think it is. I love this series and the flawed characters in it. Kenny is a bit like Philip Marlowe’s characters and almost all gritty investigators you read about. His partner, the fat man, who eats 6 croissants for breakfast and never leaves his apartment is helpful with computer searches. He can walk through the internet while Kenny walks the real world. Both are essential to solving the crime. Can’t wait to get the next book and see how Kenny continues his pursuits. A good read. I listened to audible and the narrator, Simon Vance, is excellent.
