I look forward to reading more Queste adventures.” “A heady mixture of hardboiled detective novel and super-sharp black humour and it’s a winning combination that will keep you engaged throughout.” ????? The plot rattles along at break-neck speed. This is modern pulp fiction at its best… fast-paced and flippant." “If you like your humour black and your detective novels hard-boiled, The Dead Don’t Boogie is a cut above the rest.” “Dark noir at its finest … compulsive reading. One of the best crime novels I have read in a long time. Hugely enjoyable.” "The Dead Don''t Boogie is classic noir effortlessly transposed from the mean streets of Raymond Chandler''s LA to 21st-century Glasgow. Dominic Queste is an engaging new hero with a unique voice." A missing teenage girl should be an easy job for Dominic Queste – after all, finding lost souls is what he does best. But wouldn’t it be better sometimes if lost souls just stayed that way?  Jenny Deavers is trouble. She’s being hunted, and for the people tracking her, murder is nothing. As the bodies pile up, so does the pressure on Queste, both to protect Jenny and to find out who wants her dead. The trail leads him to a brutal world of gangsters, merciless hitmen, dark family secrets and an insatiable lust for power in the highest echelons of politics. Modern noir at its finest.
