- Ex-policeman Bill Galbraith is caught up in mystery and murder in these two gripping, fast-paced detective dramas.
After a long career in the Flying Squad, veteran copper Bill Galbraith is hanging up his truncheon and saying goodbye to the police force. He's looking forward to a quiet life on civvy street - but his best friend, private investigator Tommy Evans, has other ideas....
In The King of Diamonds, Galbraith is enjoying a peaceful retirement in the countryside when Tommy calls him up with a job offer. Adamant that he's done with detection, Bill refuses, but Evans persists - and soon, Galbraith is embroiled in murky goings-on involving a beautiful blonde, a missing diamond courier and a criminal mastermind.
The Midas Touch sees Bill accosted once again by his old PI pal, who shows him a mysterious photograph of a party on a lawn, with circles drawn round the heads of three people. The photo was part of a parcel addressed to a retired criminal lawyer, which also contained bearer bonds, a list of jewellery worth £750,000 and a letter threatening the life of a man named Paul Carson. The crime the package tells of has yet to be discovered - can Galbraith root it out?
Created by the award-winning writer of Z Cars and Softly Softly, Robert Barr, these two suspenseful full-cast dramas star Bernard Hepton as the reluctant investigator, with Richard Davies as Tommy Evans.

Since when did the BBC start advertising? Lets all ask them shall we.
Its not the BBC that advertising, it's YT. Some of the background music is copyrighted, but allowed to be used on YT. BUT, because its copyrighted, it comes with ads. Nothing I can do about it.
The endless ads ruined this audio book for me
Get Ad Block Plus
In the Caribbean it'll be like a holiday yeah right
Excellent!
Too many ads.Far too many
💙📻🎙💙
Don’t waste your time … a good story is spoiled by all the ad interruptions
