“Stench is a literary Molotov cocktail – blistering, paranoid, and all too plausible….”
Fantastic review by Londonopia.

Many thanks Ben Myers.
'Independent publishing is where all the best stuff happens. Here is where the risk taskers, the dreamers and the outsiders gather. Without the indies, literature would be a blander and more homogonous place. All hail the mighty 'Moose!'

Stench: The Axe in The Head Murder by G.M. Barden is based on a true story - the 1987 murder of Daniel Morgan in a South London car park. The crime is still unsolved. This novel suggests who might have killed him and why.
“blistering, paranoid, and all too plausible.” Londonopia
Yep! The constant hustle of modern life is exhausting.

Black Rat Books are excited to announce the forthcoming release of STENCH: The Axe in The Head Murder by G.M BARDEN.
Inspired by true events, Stench is the startling crime debut from the new voice of Brit noir.

Black Rat Books is a fiercely independent London press publishing fiction from the underside of modern Britain. Gritty but literary, we champion writers who dig beneath the surface sheen of modern Britain to expose what festers beneath.
