The Dead Never Die
(2025)(The seventh book in the DI Marc Fagan Welsh detective thriller series)
A novel by Jason Chapman
The past never stays buried.
When the remains of ten-year-old Danny Llewelyn are discovered beneath a garage in Abergavenny, Detective Sergeant Sean Watkins is drawn into a cold case that has haunted the town for forty-five years. His search for the truth pits him against his ambitious colleague, DI Saddler, and the Chief Constable himself — men more interested in protecting reputations than uncovering the past.
Suspended and working off the books, Marc Fagan refuses to let the case go. His investigation takes him deep into the shadows of South Wales: survivors of abuse, missing files, and a legacy of corruption reaching back generations. As the net tightens around notorious predator Benny Nelson, shocking links emerge between the boy’s death and the highest ranks of the police.
But justice comes at a cost. With secrets too dangerous to expose and enemies on both sides of the law, Fagan and Watkins must risk everything to confront the truth.
Perfect for fans of Line of Duty and Val McDermid, The Dead Never Die delivers a gripping finale to the Benny Nelson saga while opening the door to even darker conspiracies.
