Buried Secrets

Sometimes it takes a murder investigation to reveal who someone really was
When a weekday jog ends in the death of a man known as Mr Dependable, the lack of evidence turns the case cold. Years later, Detective Inspector Gus Freeman reopens the file and discovers a life built on lies. Behind the calm facade was a past filled with hidden identities, unexplained cash, and dangerous connections.
Some secrets are worth killing for, even after a decade

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.
