Undermined: A Gay Mystery
It looks like Daniel's quiet life is over.



Small town cop DI Daniel Owen spends most of his days keeping the office running in his own quiet way. But when an acquaintance of his boss is found dead in a mine shaft, Daniel sets it all aside to help with the case. Too bad the attractive DCI, Mal Kent, can't seem to stand him, and the collapsed mines are enough to make Daniel think of booking it back home.



Mal Kent is hostile and makes it clear he doesn't want Daniel around, and it's apparent the rest of the local police don't want Mal around either. Despite law enforcement making their work difficult, Daniel and Mal have their eyes on a solid suspect . . . until that suspect turns up dead.



With their major lead in the morgue, and a new suspect nearly mowing Daniel over in a car, the pair must reorganize. If the pair can't work together, the murderer will go free . . . but Daniel has started to wonder if working together might lead to more than solving a crime.

Undermined is the first book in a series featuring Daniel Owen, a DI in the fictional Clwyd Police.
