'It's in The Half Man! That's why they're gathering. You think they cared about Justin? They couldn't wait to see him dead! They didn't come here to pay their respects; they came to sniff around his corpse!'
What is the secret of The Half Man, a creepy old inn on the windswept coast of Norfolk? Vic, a low-ranking foot soldier from London's gangland, has orders to find out what it is and bring it back to his boss. But easier said than done, especially when his fellow guests at the inn are such a rum lot, no-one is what they appear to be, and one of them is murdered right in front of him. They all know whodunit, but why? Soon Vic will find himself up to his neck in femme fatales, nosy cops, old magic, ancient rituals and quicksand. Lots of quicksand.
The Half Man is a fast-paced supernatural thriller with echoes of Get Carter, the mysteries of Agatha Christie and the ghost stories of M. R. James.
