Fatal Decision: A Cold Case Murder Mystery Series

An ex-detective must return to crack a case time forgot

Three years after losing his wife, retired Detective Inspector Gus Freeman returns to the force to lead a new cold-case team. His first assignment is the unsolved murder of a widow in Wiltshire’s dark woods, a case rife with secrets and short on suspects.

The truth is in plain sight, but someone will kill to keep it hidden

Ted Tayler is the international best-selling indie author of the Freeman Files and Phoenix series. Ted lives in the English West country, where his stories are based. He was born in 1945 and has been married to Lynne since 1971. They have three children and four grandchildren.
His thought-provoking mysteries appeal to readers of Sally Rigby, Joy Ellis, Pauline Rowson, and Faith Martin. His action-packed thrillers are a must for fans of Mark Dawson and J C Ryan.
Gus Freeman’s cold case investigations are carried out with reasoned deduction rather than bursts of frantic action. In each of the 24 books, unsolved murders are accompanied by romance, humour, and country life. The core message in the 12 Phoenix novels is that criminals should pay for their crimes. Unfortunately, the current system fails to deliver the correct punishment, so Phoenix helps redress the balance.
