Peter Bleksley Knihy

Focusing on the unsettling reality of unsolved murders, the book delves into high-profile cases like those of Joan Roddam and Millie Dowler, highlighting the paradox of increasing murder rates despite advancements in surveillance and DNA technology. Peter Bleksley, a former undercover detective, leverages his investigative experience to analyze ten 21st-century unsolved cases, revealing systemic flaws in the murder investigation process. His findings underscore critical errors and propose solutions to improve how society addresses and prevents these crimes.

As part of Scotland Yard's undercover team, it was Peter Bleksley's job to infiltrate some of the capital's most dangerous gangs and bring them down.

On 28 November 2004, banker and father-of-two Alistair Wilson was shot three times on his doorstep in a killing more commonly associated with inner city gang wars than a sleepy seaside town in the Scottish Highlands. Almost fifteen years later, the question remains: why? Over the years, leads have been investigated and dismissed, gossip has spread, theories offered and rumours debated at length. And yet, so long after Alistair's death, no arrest has ever been made and precious few leads have been made public. Who would wish to kill this respectable husband and family man in such a brutal fashion? Was it simply a tragic case of mistaken identity, or did someone have reason to end the thirty-year-old's life? And what was the significance of the envelope handed to him before he was fatally wounded? In this gripping true crime investigation, Peter Bleksley, a former Met Police undercover cop, crime and policing expert and The Chief on Channel 4's Hunted, strives to uncover the truth. He travels to Nairn, speaks to experts, and draws on his own investigative experience in order to offer new leads and insight into one of the most mysterious murder cases of recent times.
