Dead Honest
'Jilly Cooper meets Richard Osman' EMILY GOWERS

'Complex, compelling, funny, and surprisingly sexy' GRAEME GARDEN

When Leo and his dog Pumpernickel find their Soho office has been ransacked, the last thing they expect to find is a document that is the key to a scandal which led to the death of a popular MP. Their investigations involve them with a global oil company, a glamorous peeress, a young woman lawyer unknowingly attached to an undercover cop, a gay whistleblower, a muscular ex-convict, a prisoner plotting his revenge from jail, and a couple of Oxford students whose love for another survives all temptations.

With the help of Leo's loving partner, renowned therapist Marion Fitzwalter, and the grudging assistance of veteran crime reporter Dennis Arbuthnot, Leo gets to the heart of a mystery that, were it not for the efforts of the intrepid Pumpernickel, would have resulted in him being killed.

Dead Honest shows that love and people power can triumph over the most gruesome attempts to pervert the course of justice.

About the Author

Peter Buckman was one of the youngest editors in publishing and is now one of the oldest literary agents still working. In between he was a full-time writer, producing books, plays, scripts for films, television and radio, articles and reviews. The Pumpernickel Mysteries are his first crime series, and feature a quartet of characters in their seventies (including the dog) who are still working, still learning, and still enjoying leisure and pleasure. Peter and his wife Rosie have lived in the same Oxfordshire village for over fifty years: they have two daughters, two grandchildren, and a black cockerpoo called, amazingly, Pumpernickel.
