Gallio does counter-insurgency. But his career is threatened by the theft of a body and a conspiracy of silence. Bizarre rumours of the walking dead are swirling, there is panic in the air, and it's his job to find the body and straighten things out. But he blows the case, no body is found and Gallio is reassigned. Suddenly, years later, there's another body and the case is reopened. Gallio is called back by headquarters and ordered to track down everyone who had been involved. The only problem is that they keep dying, in more grotesque and violent ways, and the conspiracy keeps growing. How can Gallio hope to keep ahead of the game when the game keeps changing? Acts of the Assassins is about one man's struggle to control forces beyond his understanding and what a lonely place a very dangerous world can be.

Industry Reviews

"Brilliantly original and absurdly compelling ... it's a book you'll read in one, frantic gasp" Guardian "Brilliantly original and absurdly compelling ... it's a book you'll read in one, frantic gasp" Guardian "Richard Beard is one of those rare writers whose novels are at once radically inventive and brilliantly entertaining. Acts of the Assassins ... is as joyously original as it is a page-turner to read" -- Tom Holland Daily Mail "The Acts of the Assassins is...spectacularly successful. It is thoughtful and clever and brutal and true... It is a Chinese puzzle box of a novel. A garden of forking paths. A page-turner. A modern classic" -- Benjamin Judge Book Munch "Extraordinarily funny...confident and enchanting" Guardian
