Guilty Until Proven Innocent

A Chief Inspector Thaw Mystery

A wealthy, beautiful victim. An infamous murder that caught the attention of the entire country. Everyone was certain that the man convicted of this notorious crime was in fact guilty. But then a deathbed confession nearly twenty years later casts doubt upon the investigation. Has an innocent man been wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit?
DCI James Thaw and DS Kevin Friday are assigned this politically sensitive case. They soon find themselves fighting against the wishes of the victim’s family as well as the detective who handled the original investigation. Even if the convicted man’s guilt seems uncertain the more they investigate, no one is eager for them to discover the truth. As the number of suspects grows the detectives encounter a carefully crafted plan designed to fool everyone. Everyone, that is, except Detective Chief Inspector James Thaw.
