The dock workers all seem to have their own stories to tell whilst gangland figures try to pull their strings from the shadows. As pressure mounts from above, will they be able to find the voices that matter? Can Joseph overcome his own self-doubt? Will they catch the killer in a London set against itself, as the new and old world’s collide? Death Doesn't Care Who You Are. Murder Does. DEAD MEN DON’T PAY is the first in a new historical police procedural series from CWA author Ben Bruce.
