Crime & Mystery; Thriller & suspense

Escape to the highlands with a gripping crime caper from the Sunday Times bestselling author and co-host of the award-winning smash podcast No Such Thing As A Fish.

Alex used to break into houses illegally. These days, it's his job.

Alex is part of a small firm of consultants who break into offices and homes to test their security. It's fun, it's well paid, and he's very good at it. It's almost like he's grown up at last.

But when he gets fired from his firm, evicted from his flat and dumped by his girlfriend, all in the same evening, he decides to steal one last job from his company without their knowing. A job they had already decided not to accept.

Big mistake.

Before long, Alex is in remote northern Scotland, following the trail of an ambitious young man who supposedly fell to his death with no witnesses in sight.

And if Alex doesn't get to the truth soon, he may well be the next one over the edge...

Reviews for Bad Deeds

Witty, wicked and whip-smart - Bad Deeds is the perfect page turner for those who like their thillers with propulsive plots, rollicking action, and a serving of bone-dry satire. An absolute hoot! * Ross Montgomery * Bad Deeds is a smart, page-turning romp that sees the ripples from one tiny not-quite-innocent action reach tidal wave proportions for its lively anti-hero. Funny, thoughtful and intriguing, this is crime writing with an edge of biting wit that sets Andrew Hunter Murray in a class of his own * Janice Hallett * A brilliant and wickedly entertaining murder mystery by a brilliant and wickedly entertaining author * Emma Freud *
