Final Deal

A team member kidnapped and a cold case that refuses to stay buried.

When DI Suzie Ferris vanishes after a cyber-crime course, Gus Freeman and his Crime Review Team face a formidable adversary—a ruthless former undercover officer, Ricky Gardiner, entangled in a web of corruption.

As the team digs deeper, they unearth sinister connections within the police force to a hit-and-run death from years past, and alarming links to the cold case of a murdered car dealer.

With Gardiner’s threats escalating, the team must act quickly to find Suzie and expose the truth.

Final Deal, the fifth instalment in the Freeman Files series, is a gripping tale of courage and betrayal. The truth may be more dangerous than anyone expected.

Ted Tayler is the international best-selling indie author of the Freeman Files and Phoenix series. Ted lives in the English West country, where his stories are based. He was born in 1945 and has been married to Lynne since 1971. They have three children and four grandchildren. His thought-provoking mysteries appeal to readers of Sally Rigby, Joy Ellis, Pauline Rowson, and Faith Martin. His action-packed thrillers are a must for fans of Mark Dawson and J C Ryan. Gus Freeman’s cold case investigations are carried out with reasoned deduction rather than bursts of frantic action. In each of the 24 books, unsolved murders are accompanied by romance, humour, and country life. The core message in the 12 Phoenix novels is that criminals should pay for their crimes. Unfortunately, the current system fails to deliver the correct punishment, so Phoenix helps redress the balance.
