TEN MOST WANTED Britain's Top Undercover Cop Reinvestigates Ten of the UK's Worst Unsolved Murders

Hardback. When people talk about getting away with murder, few realise that in reality one in ten murderers do. In this astonishing book, the author, a former undercover detective, examines just why so many murders go unsolved. Despite the fact that we are photographed up to 300 times a day on CCTV whether we commit a crime or not and despite incredible advances in DNA testing, murder is more common tha ever. Using his own considerable investigative powers and unique access to police resources and contacts, the author looks at ten unsolved murder cases from the 21st century to discover where the problems lie and what can be done. His findings are disturbing, pointing to glaring errors that are routinely made by the police in the way they investigate murder. The author reveals the many ways we can prevent errors from happening and suggests radical new ways to safeguard us all. Contents include : Wayne Trotter - Borehamwood; Alex Blue - Glasgow; Lt. Col.
