As it turns out, a dead man can tell stories...
Murders are a dime a dozen in Margaret Thatcher's London, and when it comes to the brutal killing of a middle-aged alcoholic found dumped outside of town, Scotland Yard has more important cases to deal with.
Instead it's a job for the Department of Unexplained Deaths and its head Detective Sergeant. With only a box of cassette-tape diaries as evidence the rogue detective has no chouce but to listen to the haunting voice of the victim for clues to his gruesome end.
The first book in Derek Raymond's acclaimed Factory Series is an unflinching yet deeply compassionate portrait of a city plagued by poverty and perversion, and a policeman who may be the only one who cares about the "people who don't matter and who never did."

He Died with His Eyes Open
Most people live with their eyes shut, but I mean to die with mine open.
The corpse had been viciously beaten. His death barely even made the papers.
Enter a nameless Detective Sergeant of the Department of Unexplained Deaths.
We work on obscure, unimportant, apparently irrelevant deaths of people who don't matter and who never did.
With only some cassette tapes and scribbled messages left by the victim, the DS sets out to find a killer. Through interviews with possible suspects, he slowly begins to piece together who might have done it and why. Action fans may sneer at this book. There are no car chases, no shootouts. There is also no DNA, and no computers - just good, old fashioned detective work. In the end, an imperfect hero manages to make the dead man matter.
