30th June 2016
Price: £8.99
The third in the atmospheric Amsterdam-set crime series, which combines the city’s old-world charm with contemporary issues of corruption, immigration and crime.
Pieter Posthumus wouldn’t live anywhere but Amsterdam… though the Earth 2050 conference, with its attendant crowds, has left him feeling somewhat under siege. At least his work at the Lonely Funerals team is quiet.
Then one of the delegates is attacked. Posthumus agrees to look into the case, sparking memories of his own time as a student radical. Amsterdam has always attracted people with fierce views… but is someone willing to kill for their principles? Or was the attack much more personal?
Posthumus must contend with family secrets, political machinations and international conspiracies in a bid to uncover the truth.

Praise for LONELY GRAVES
Very engaging...Posthumus holds enormous literary appeal.
The main character is a very appealing, convincing and enthralling creation with a truly bizarre occupation...As with Morse, the city where the action takes place becomes one of the main characters...a compelling story that leaves you wanting to hear more about Pieter's work and his life - and how the city copes with its marvellous mix of eccentrics and dangers.
One of the best thrillers you will read this season. It is a page-turner full of suspense and surprising twists and turns...Phenomena like home-grown terrorism make this novel just that much more exciting. Once I started reading I could not put it down.
No typical thriller...Posthumus is a find!
An atmospheric and glorious Amsterdam crime story.
A delicious writing style makes Lonely Graves an outstanding debut.
