Poe's just hanging around on a Saturday afternoon...Dangling from a hook in a meat packing plant isn't how Detective Sergeant Washington Poe wants to spend his weekend. He's been punched and kicked and threatened, and when a contract killer arrives it seems things are about to go from bad to worse. He goes by the name of the Pale Man and he and his straight-edged razor have been feared all over London for twenty years.But Poe knows two things the Pale Man doesn't. Although it might seem like a hopeless situation, Poe has planned to be here all along. More importantly, a nerdy, computer whizz-kid called Tilly Bradshaw is watching his back. And now things are about to get interesting . . ._______________This is a short story, not a full-length novel._______________Praise for M W Craven:'I've been following M.W. Craven's Poe/Tilly series from the very beginning, and it just gets better and better. Dead Ground is a fast-paced crime novel with as many twists and turns as a country lane.

Malone'Nothing you've ever read will prepare you for the utterly unique Washington Poe' Keith Nixon'Beware if you pick up a book by M.W. Craven. Your life will no longer belong to you. He will hold you spellbound.
