Can he evade arrest for his own crimes and solve a case so sickening that it may provide the key to his personal redemption'The clock is ticking and everyone's watching their backs as a war of morality is fought in the mind of one renegade policeman in Business of Dying--the gripping first novel by talented young crime writer Simon Kernick.
