Rent He Died with His Eyes Open

Synopsis

As it turns out, a dead man can tell stories...

When it comes to the brutal killing of a middle-aged alcoholic found dumped outside of town, Scotland Yard has more important cases to deal with.

It's a job for the Department of Unexplained Deaths and its head, the never-named Detective Sergeant. With only a box of cassette-tape diaries as evidence the rogue detective has no choice but to listen to the haunting voice of the victim for clues to his gruesome end.

The first book in the series is an unflinching yet deeply compassionate portrait of Thatcher's London, and a policeman who may be the only one who cares about the "people who don't matter and who never did."
