Summary

A missing witness. A dangerous killer. A cop with nothing to lose.

The trial of notorious gangland boss, Elrit Selmani, is about to start but the star witness has gone missing. Without Derrick Morris' testimony, the killer will walk free.

Detective Inspector Simon Wise and his Murder Investigation Team must race against the clock to find Morris before Selmani's gang do — except not everyone on Wise's team wants to find the man alive.

Can Wise find Morris in time or will a deadly killer go free?

DEAD MAN RUNNING is a novella in the DI Simon Wise Crime Thriller series, set on the streets of London. If you like gripping police procedurals, complex characters, and shocking twists, then you’ll love Michael Dylan’s thrilling tales.

This gripping thriller is perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James, Joy Ellis, L.J. Ross, Alex Smith and J.M. Dalgliesh.

Excellent Novella

This fabulous novella is set just before Bk 1 in the DI Simon Wise series. Probably like Bk 0.5.
It introduces you to Wise and his team leading you through an investigation & up to a pivotal incident. Really enjoyed it and excellent narration by Colin Mace.
It’s a good short story on its own, but you’ll be hooked and want to read more.

How it all began!

Cracking little novella this. Gives a solid prelude to the main series and leads us nicely into the characters that we’re starting to root for!

For those wondering, this is set just before the currently full sized novels and serves as a great introductory piece. You don’t need to read this first to enjoy the other books but you should!

Great writing and another solid narration.

Bring on book 3!
