A Word with the Dead (DCI Evan Warlow #17)

A body in the hills. A missing man. An unreliable witness.

When a drone uncovers a dead cyclist in the West Wales countryside, DCI Evan Warlow is pulled into a case where the clues are scarce, the suspects slippery, and the motive buried deep beneath layers of power and deceit.


From a silent hospital ward to a shadowy woodland path, this is a mystery that exposes more than murder—it unravels a community.

Gripping, atmospheric, and disturbingly relevant.





Edge of the seat crime fiction. One Less Snake is the twisty 16th novel from bestselling crime author, Rhys Dylan. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Simon McCleave, and Peter Robinson
