Deadly Formula: A Cold Case Murder Mystery Series

When a scientist unlocks a secret, someone will kill to erase the truth

Fourteen years ago, a brilliant research scientist was murdered in his Wiltshire home with a single shotgun blast, his groundbreaking drug formula stolen. Reopening the cold case, Detective Inspector Gus Freeman connects the death to overdoses, corruption, and a murdered officer, triggering violence and betrayal that threaten his team’s survival.
But the closer Freeman gets to the truth, the more the body count rises

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.
