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.
As well as being a crime writer, Greg Keen is an independent media trainer.
Greg got his first proper job in Soho and has pretty much worked there ever since. This made it an ideal setting for his novel Soho Dead winner of the CWA Debut Dagger in 2015. Greg lives in North London. You can reach him at: info@gka.demon.co.uk.
Soho Dead introduces Kenny Gabriel, a down at heel skip tracer trying to turn his life round. When Kenny receives a summons from his previous employer, media magnate Frank Parr, his initial reaction is to turn the job down.
But the money is good and Kenny needs a break. How hard can it be to locate Frank's wayward daughter, Harry, who has been missing less than a week?
Unfortunately for him, the past has a way of repeating itself. Sooner than he could ever have imagined, Kenny's life must either change or end.
