Evil Are the Dead
(2026)(The eighth book in the DI Marc Fagan Welsh detective thriller series)
A novel by Jason Chapman
For fans of the hit Netflix drama Adolescence
When doting parents, Martin and Lisa Strong, are savagely murdered by their thirteen-year-old daughter, DI Marc Fagan finds himself drawn into one of the most disturbing cases of his career. At the heart of the investigation is Lola Strong, a seemingly quiet but troubled girl whose motives for the killings remain elusive.
As Fagan delves into Lola's life, he uncovers disturbing connections to Cymru Teen Chat, a controversial social media platform moderated by AI, owned by Welsh entrepreneur Russell Conner, who Fagan has encountered before. The platform allows young teens to express themselves in unsettling ways, raising questions about its influence on Lola and others like her.
The investigation deepens as Fagan uncovers evidence of other children displaying disturbing behaviour, leading him down a dark path that forces him to confront the shadows lurking within innocence itself. Amidst the unsettling revelations, Fagan encounters Jessica, an eerily detached and manipulative teenager involved in the platform. Her cryptic statements and chilling demeanour suggest deeper, more sinister motivations.
As Fagan connects the dots between Lola, Jessica, and the dark underbelly of Cymru Teen Chat, he grapples with profound questions about the fragility of childhood and the ease with which innocence can be corrupted.
