Dead Man Running - Every small community has a ‘local character,’ someone that everyone in the area seems to know. This new engrossing BBC Scotland series looks at one such ‘local character’ that became a household name Inverness, who later became a wanted fugitive, after his sinister past started to become more apparent. 

Myles Bonnar, who knew him, is behind this new series about how his charm was able to groom a local community, only for it to unravel after his reported disappearance whilst swimming was faked. Several episodes are available to listen to now and new episodes available to listen to on BBC Sounds every Friday.
