Murder Most Vile, the ninth book the the Langham and Dupré series, is out now from Severn House.
“It was not I, but rage, did this vile murder; Yet I, and not my rage, must answer it.” – Thomas Heywood.
April, 1957. When Donald Langham is approached by a retired businessman to find his artist son, what starts as a simple missing persons case soon turns to murder as a body is discovered in a disused warehouse.
While investigating the killing, Langham’s business partner Ralph Ryland must confront his past as a Mosley-ite Blackshirt in the Thirties. In the course of their search for the murderer, Ralph is kidnapped by a gangland boss and Langham must not only attempt to save his friend’s life, but track down a killer who strikes not once but three times…
Murder Most Vile combines a traditional whodunnit mystery with gripping suspense and a thrilling dénouement.

Love this series, and everything you write! I’m in the US near Chicago. The WorldCon/ChicCon site is listing an “Eric Brown” as a registrant for the con here in September–are you planning to be there or is it someone else? Thank you, Jeff.
Hi Jeff, Many thanks for your kind words – much appreciated. Sadly, the Eric Brown who’ll be attending the con is not me: maybe it’s Eric S. brown, the zombie writer… Well, he isn’t a zombie, but writes a lot of zombie fiction. Have a great time, and if you come across Mr Brown, say Hi to him form me. Cheers!
