Synopses

Last Orders

A murder in Wiltshire in 2003 left a community shaken and an innocent man wrongly imprisoned. When Gus Freeman’s newly formed Crime Review Team reopens the case, they quickly find troubling weaknesses in the original investigation, from selective evidence to mishandled facts.

The review also draws DS Neil Davis into uncomfortable territory, with his father’s role in the first inquiry raising difficult questions. Pursuing the truth means confronting what went wrong inside the police as well as identifying the killer.

Deadly Formula

Fourteen years after research scientist Dr Ian McGuire is shot dead in his own kitchen, the case is reopened by Gus Freeman’s team. As they examine McGuire’s complicated personal life, new leads suggest a wider web of secrets.

A missing formula for a powerful drug, links to local gang activity and the shadow of a second unsolved killing begin to converge. The investigation points towards corruption that others are determined to keep buried.

Final Deal

When DI Suzie Ferris vanishes after attending a cyber-crime course, the Crime Review Team face a case that turns sharply personal. The trail leads to Ricky Gardiner, a former undercover officer who has returned with a vendetta, using Suzie as leverage.

At the same time, the search intersects with the cold-case murder of car dealer Dennis Gates, killed eight years earlier. What was assumed to be a gangland hit starts to look far more intimate, with a secret someone has worked hard to conceal.
