There are many ways to kill a person, and it's a difficult thing to do, but far more so if you have to kill the same person twice. Grave Robbers by Matt Drabble begins conventionally enough but doesn't stay that way for long. Lucas Grant, a veteran police detective who has seen better days, is partnered with young Leah Travis, an ex-military type with formidable skills. When the duo launches an investigation into a seemingly impossible bank robbery, the consequences are a dead man. The main problem with that is the deceased is someone that Lucas saw die a year earlier. With little help from a corrupt police department and not knowing who to trust, Lucas forms an unlikely alliance with local crime lord Billy Bones. As the carnage intensifies, the trio discovers that villainy isn't strictly the prerogative of thieves and lawbreakers but also the righteous.
Grave Robbers by Matt Drabble is a zombie-themed thriller, but quite possibly one of the best I've encountered. The story isn't a typical end-of-the-world tale but a far better-crafted account that makes plausible sense. With a pace that ranges from thought-provoking normalcy to a tsunami of adrenaline threatening to wash away everything in its path, the novel achieves intense levels of immersion. The characters are an intriguing group of realistic people who seem familiar, and even secondary and tertiary individuals are fashioned with considerable skill. Guaranteed to delight fans of the genre, Grave Robbers outclasses most Hollywood productions of the same type and makes them seem amateurish in comparison. A very well-crafted and intricate novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. After reading this book, I only have one question. Why isn't this a movie already?
