Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Simon Kernick wrote the detective-myster novel The Business of Dying in 2002. It's the first novel to feature Dennis Milne, who becomes the protagonist for further novels.One rainy November evening finds Dennis Milne, who is a full-time police officer and part-time hitman, in the parking lot of the Traveller's Rest Hotel and waiting for his latest targets, a trio of drug dealers. His targets arrive and he goes about his business of killing them, and then heads home and ready to go about his regular, daily life.The next day, Dennis finds out that the men he killed were not drug dealers, as his contactman had told him, but two customs officers and a civilian. With the shock still setting in, he also gets assigned the case of a murdered prostitute by the name of Miriam Fox.While investigating the Miriam Fox case, Dennis delves into the red-light district of London and learns of a connection between Miriam's death, a welfare house for wayward children, and his contactman, Raymond Keen. With his double-life beginning to overlap, Dennis is determined to get to the bottom of this business and retain his freedom — as well as his life, for he can tell that he's got a target on his back.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Alpha Bitch: Miriam Fox. She came from a rich and politically-influential home, which made her haughty and consider herself above other people. Further revelations about her show that she was a very nasty person, overall.

Asshole Victim: Miriam Fox is merely the beginning of the list. There's also Alan Kover and Dr Roberts, who both have molested children in the past; Raymond Keen is a corrupt and slimey funeral proprietor, and has filmed child pornography; and Nigel Grayley, who is not only a corrupt customs executive and has a large deal of illegal immigrants going on, but has also raped and killed several minors.
