Letter From The Dead

The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series begins here!

"By the time you read this, I will be dead..."

In 2001, socialite Victoria Davies was murdered, and all evidence pointed to her husband, Michael.

Twenty years later a letter surfaces—written by Victoria before she died—naming three Labour MPs as suspects.

But life has taken them in very different directions. One is sleeping rough on the streets of London. One has reinvented himself as a YouTube evangelist. And one is now the Conservative Home Secretary… and favourite to become the next Prime Minister.

Detective Inspector Declan Walsh doesn’t want the case. Hanging onto his career by a thread, he’s just been moved into a City of London unit—and reopening a political cold case is the quickest way to make powerful enemies.

But it was his late father who arrested Michael. Who got it wrong.

And now Declan has to fix this before his father's name and reputation are destroyed.

As Walsh and his new team dig into Victoria’s final days, they uncover a web of affairs, secrets, and long-buried lies... and with every answer comes another reason someone wanted this case forgotten. Because in the City of London, the past doesn’t stay buried, and someone will do anything to make sure it never gets out.

Can Walsh and his team solve the case -- before history repeats itself?
