Secrets of the Dead

Warren Clarke and Colin Buchanan star in an original full-cast television episode specially adapted for audio. When Andy Dalziel attends the funeral of an old flame, Francesca Lock, little does he know the repercussions her death will bring. First, he receives a shocking letter from Fran in which she informs him that he is the father of Mark Lock, a DS in Andy's station. Then her name crops up in another context altogether. Local solicitor David Brewer is found murdered, tied to his chair with strips of his own shirt, his office ransacked. The obvious suspects are his wife Gillian, and her lover Tom Piper, but could Brewer's death be connected to another death five years earlier, that of private detective Paul Sutton? Sutton was hired by Valerie Silwood, to investigate rumours that her doctor husband was having an affair - with Fran Lock. It soon becomes clear that Mark knows more about events than he is willing to let on. And Dalziel must deal with the complexities of the case without Pascoe, for Peter has flown off to America to visit his daughter - straight into trouble of his own, in the form of the aptly-named Hurricane Andy...This is the original soundtrack from the BBC TV series, with linking narration by John Telfer.
