Never Dead

Newly promoted DI Matt Pryor is disappointed when his first case seems to be a simple death from natural causes – that is, until the post-mortem shows something quite unexpected ... The elderly man who died on a Cardiff train was murdered – poisoned – by one of the other passengers. But who? There's a photograph in the dead man's pocket – a photograph that matches one owned by young professional Ellie Bevan. Is it just a coincidence that Ellie's the one who stayed with the body until the police arrived – or did she have a more sinister reason for sticking around? Matt's boss DCI Martin Phelps is delving into a tricky case of his own. The new superintendent is determined to clear up any old cases with a whiff of police corruption about them and Phelps is sent to investigate the decade-old murder of a young Somali man. He soon discovers that the police reports are filled with errors. Sloppy detective work – or a cover-up?...
