Max and Tom are old, old friends, once actors. Tom now owns a jazz nightclub called Deadbeat which, as well as being their source of income, is also something of an in-joke. In a dark suburban churchyard one night they see a group of men are loading a coffin into the back of a van.
But, why would you be taking a full coffin away from a graveyard and, more importantly, why is the occupant still breathing? Tom and Max are on the case. God help us...

“Guy Adams has established a well-rounded group of characters within a supernaturally noirish setting that I have instantly fallen for, and I await their next adventure with relish.” – Hell Notes
“A highly recommended, action-packed thriller.” – Nerds in Babeland
“Guy Adams gifted the world one of the finest novels of 2013. Deadbeat is an absolutely amazing read that offers a little bit of everything, and demands a second read. It’s a clear-cut masterpiece, and anyone who hasn’t read the novel yet is missing something truly special.” – Horror Novel Reviews
