When Charlie Somes is around, dead men do tell tales — and dead women too.

His gift of touch telepathy has been invaluable to the local police in solving murders, stopping Otherworldly serial killers, and bringing gangsters to justice. Now all Charlie wants is to finish his PhD in chemistry in peace and spend time with his girlfriend Michelle. Instead, there's Michelle's violent ex-boyfriend Dave, a new organised crime outfit in town, and a murderous prince of the Fae who hasn't forgotten what Charlie did to him last time.

And they all have one thing in common — they're out for Charlie's blood.

"This really is an entertaining devour-at-one-go read, which kept me up late to finish – a recommendation in itself." British Fantasy Society reviews

"I really liked the book and think that readers who enjoy urban fantasy will enjoy it. Easy-reading and reasonable stakes are things I enjoy from Martin Owton's writing." Amazon Best-selling author C.T. Phipps
