Over My Dead Body

by Jeffrey Archer

First published 2021

Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick takes charge of London's new Unsolved Murders Unit, a specialized squad tasked with solving crimes that have stumped other investigators. His team includes ex-undercover agent Ross Hogan, pulled back into active duty from retirement. Three cases demand their immediate attention. In Geneva, art collector Miles Faulkner was officially declared dead two months ago after his conviction for forgery and theft, yet his corrupt lawyer continues working for his supposedly deceased client. Meanwhile, aboard a luxury cruise ship heading to New York, a wealthy family's internal power struggle threatens to explode into violence. Back in London, the cold case files pile up with murders that have gone unsolved for years. Warwick and Hogan must navigate each investigation while racing against time to prevent new deaths. The cases interweave as the detectives discover connections between seemingly unrelated crimes, testing their skills and partnership as they hunt killers who believe they have escaped justice.
