Poe is confused - he hunts serial killers and this appears to be a straightforward murder-by-pimp - but his attendance was requested personally, by the kind of people who prefer to remain in the shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Poe and the socially awkward programmer Tilly Bradshaw delve deeper into the case, they are faced with seemingly unanswerable questions: despite being heavily vetted for a high-profile job, why does nothing in the victim's background check out? Why was a small ornament left at the murder scene - and why did someone on the investigation team steal it? And what is the connection to a flawlessly executed bank heist three years earlier, a heist where nothing was taken . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003ePraise for Dead Ground:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Unmissable' Sunday Express\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'I've been following M.W.
