About this ebook
Private Investigator Daniel Morgan was killed in cold blood with an axe to the head in the pub car park of The Golden Lion, Sydenham, south London, on 10th March 1987. It was the most brutal of murders under the murkiest of circumstances.
Who had wanted Daniel dead? What were they trying to hide? And, why were the police seemingly so reluctant to help?
This book is the culmination of a life's work for Daniel's brother Alastair who for the last 30 years has done everything within his power to try to solve the riddle of his brother's death. His devotion has prompted five separate police inquiries, making it the most investigated murder in Britain's history, and has unearthed one of the most notorious episodes of police corruption and media cover-ups of our time.
More recently, Alastair teamed up with journalist Peter Jukes who has investigated the case for the last four years, to produce hit podcast Untold, exploring every shocking twist and dark turn of the story of the Daniel Morgan murder and now they've brought all of their findings together in a richly-crafted and engrossing read. More than just a companion to the hit show, this book shares every tiny detail of the cold case, including the latest findings from a major public inquiry, and information from fresh sources who have come forward since the show.
For fans of Making a Murderer and Serial, this engrossing story paints a picture of a murder most horrid and a cover-up even more so with a cast made up of bent cops, senior members of the underworld, and powerful media figures. Could you be the person to finally unlock the mystery of Daniel Morgan's murder? The facts are all here so the truth must be somewhere too...
