Why We Die

by Mick Herron

When Tim Whitby checks into a hotel, he’s not intending to check out again. But then he meets Katrina Blake, a woman with her own secrets, in need of rescue. When Arkle, Baxter, and Trent inherit the family business, they’re not planning on taking it over — there are quicker ways of getting rich, especially if you don't mind violence. And when Zoë Boehm agrees to track down the masked men who robbed a jewelery shop, she’s hoping to pay off the taxes she’s avoided. She’s not expecting to wind up in a coffin.
