The Dead Man is a prolific fiction series by James Reasoner that produced 24 books between 2011 and 2014. It kicked off with Face of Evil, Ring of Knives, and Hell In Heaven all in 2011, and kept up a rapid release pace throughout its run. Several omnibus volumes also exist, collecting multiple entries into single editions like The Dead Man Vol 2 and Vol 3.
Titles such as Carnival of Death, The Killing Floor, Streets of Blood, and The Rising Dead give a clear sense of the series’ dark, action-driven tone. The books were released quickly, with the majority published in 2012 and 2013. Reborn, the twenty-fourth and final entry, came out in 2014.
