Fortis must confront the demons from his secret past and form an unexpected alliance to bring down a ghost—a forgotten enemy bent on revenge—before it destroys him.
In this dark and fast-paced crime thriller, will the secrets and lies of the past exact their chilling revenge on Fortis, or will he overcome and serve justice on his enemy?

Reviews for The Dead Beneath Us
What readers have said:
“I always buy Matthew Evans’s books the instant they come out in print. This one is the first in a new series, it didn’t disappoint. As I said before about his other DI David Angelis series I just can’t wait for Netflix to sort themselves out and make this book into a TV series! This book is fast-paced with an unusually inclusive range of characters, both likeable and hateable! There is murder and violence but also kindness and faithfulness. I also love Evans’ sense of place – this one is set in Chichester and Bosham and a sinister private school… – I enjoy the lanes, the sea, the hedgerows, the city, the tides…I was a bit bereft when I had finished the book. Please get going with the next one!”
“I was completely hooked. The Dead Beneath Us has a fantastic storyline, really interesting and likeable characters, and keeps you wanting to know more. I couldn’t put it down. Absolutely fantastic.”
