Counterfeit Corpse : Detective Ward of England's Special Crime Division
Overview
In the Shadow of War, a Detective Ward Confronts the Ghosts of Justice
Set in post-war Britain during the early Cold War years, The Counterfeit Corpse follows Detective Inspector Michael Ward, a Cambridge-educated officer grappling with duty, recovery from violence, and complicated personal relationships. When a headless body is discovered on a war memorial in rural Yorkshire, Ward uncovers not a simple murder but a carefully staged deception designed to provide an alibi for London gangster Johnnie Knight. As the investigation deepens, the novel explores moral ambiguity, trauma, and the fragile boundary between justice and manipulation, anchored by a psychologically rich confrontation between two men shaped by war in very different ways.
