Dead Smart

Written by Stephen Puleston

Narrated by Joseph Tweedale

Eddie Westford is connected to some powerful people in Cardiff. But who would slit his throat in the car park of Cardiff City football club?

Inspector John Marco discovers photographs of Westford sitting in various luxury cars and Westford’s connections with the organised hooligan gangs of Cardiff points to a connection with hardened criminals.

But is it that easy?

Evidence suggesting Westford is a suspect in a drug related inquiry means that Marco faces having to transfer the investigation to another officer. But Marco’s gut instinct believes that Westford’s death may be connected to some powerful people in Cardiff and he resists the attempts from his senior officer to have the murder case allocated to another officer.

So Inspector Marco doesn’t have much time. Marco embarks on a final last minute attempt to prove his theory with disastrous consequences before he finally identifies Westford’s killer. You’ll love this prequel novella because everyone loves a page-turner.
