Untold: The Daniel Morgan Murder Exposed is the definitive inside account of Britain’s most infamous unsolved private-investigator killing. Co-written by journalist Peter Jukes and Daniel’s own brother Alastair Morgan, this 2017 paperback from Blink Publishing lays out, step-by-step, how a 1987 axe murder in a south-London pub car park spiralled into a 30-year cover-up that reached the highest levels of the Metropolitan Police and the News of the World. At 369 pages the book reads like a courtroom thriller, yet every document, tape and testimony is footnoted, making it the textbook that criminology students, true-crime fans and investigative reporters now cite as the single most complete record of the case.
What makes this copy especially attractive is its clean, gently-read condition: tight binding, no inscriptions, no dog-eared corners, just light shelf scuffing on the cover—ideal for collectors who want an unmarked reading copy. Because the title has never been reprinted in large numbers, first-run paperbacks are already scarce; finding one that hasn’t been annotated or ex-library is becoming difficult on the secondary market. Owners get the full original package, including the 16-page photo insert that many later e-book editions omit.
Beyond collectability, Untold delivers the emotional punch that sets it apart from standard true-crime. Alastair Morgan’s personal quest for justice gives the narrative moral weight, while Jukes’ investigative rigour exposes the links between police corruption and phone-hacking scandals that still dominate UK headlines. For readers who followed the 2021 independent panel report, this book is the essential prequel that names names, maps the money trail, and explains why the case remains a benchmark for miscarriages of justice in modern Britain.
