About this ebook
'The Coopers Field Murder' is the second instalment in Wonny Lea's DCI Martin Phelps series, set in the thriving Welsh capital city of Cardiff.
The first novel in this series, Jack-Knifed, saw the introduction of Detective Chief Inspector Martin Phelps, together with his sidekick, Detective Sergeant Matt Pryor, and their team, investigating the horrendous murder of a gay man in Cardiff.
Now they are faced with a body found in Coopers Field, a Cardiff beauty spot - a naked body that has lain there so long it is almost unidentifiable. Pathology reports establish that the body is that of a woman - but who is she, and how did she die?
Local nurse Sarah Thomas, a helpful passer-by when the body is found, soon finds that she has another unexpected death to deal with - at Parkland Nursing Home where she works. Colin James, one of her favourite residents at the home, dies suddenly - but the reactions of those closest to him are surprising. Was Colin's death due to natural causes - or is there something more sinister afoot at Parkland?
