    About this ebook

    Newly promoted DI Matt Pryor is disappointed when his first case seems to be a simple death from natural causes – that is, until the post-mortem shows something quite unexpected …

    The elderly man who died on a Cardiff train was murdered – poisoned – by one of the other passengers. But who? There’s a photograph in the dead man’s pocket – a photograph that matches one owned by young professional Ellie Bevan. Is it just a coincidence that Ellie’s the one who stayed with the body until the police arrived – or did she have a more sinister reason for sticking around?

    Matt’s boss DCI Martin Phelps is delving into a tricky case of his own. The new superintendent is determined to clear up any old cases with a whiff of police corruption about them and Phelps is sent to investigate the decade-old murder of a young Somali man. He soon discovers that the police reports are filled with errors. Sloppy detective work – or a cover-up?

    Both Pryor and Phelps soon find themselves surprisingly drawn towards investigating a respected humanitarian charity. Feted by important people, the organisation isn’t quite what it seems – and a wrong move could spell disaster …

    Never Dead is the fifth in Wonny Lea’s Cardiff Bay Investigations featuring DCI Phelps.

    Wonny Lea

    Wonny Lea’s career as a nurse started in the ‘Swinging Sixties’ and she went on to become a midwife, managing breech deliveries, twins, and various other complications without an obstetrician in sight and loving every minute of it. After her marriage, and with a young family, she changed direction professionally, variously managing her own florists, working in the tourist trade, and running a pub. She also worked on and off for the NHS and worked her way up to the position of Chief Nurse at one of the largest NHS Trusts in the UK before retiring. Wonny Lea lives near Cardiff in Wales and is a passionate Welshwoman. Her Cardiff Bay Investigation series of detective novels featuring DCI Martin Phelps is set in the Welsh capital and features the darker – and lighter – sides of life in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities.

      This is the first of the series that I have read - DI Matt Pryor investigates the death of a man on a train and DCI Martin Phelps attempts to close a old case of the brutal murder of a Somalian male.
