Murder Locked Out – A Hard-Edged 1970s London Police Story | R.D. Wingfield

Set in the shadowy streets of early 1970s London, Murder Locked Out by R.D. Wingfield is a hard-edged police drama about a man who knows he’s falling short — and can’t escape it.

“I’m not a very good policeman… I’m a nice fellow — everyone’s pal — but not a good copper.”

Once tipped as a rising star, a weary detective now finds himself trapped by past promise, present doubt, and a murder that refuses to stay neatly locked away. As the case unfolds, so too does the quiet tragedy of a policeman who knows exactly where things went wrong — but may be powerless to put them right.

Atmospheric, character-driven, and steeped in authentic 1970s British policing, Murder Locked Out is classic R.D. Wingfield: understated, deeply human, and quietly devastating.

A vintage British crime drama from Old Tube Radio, for listeners who appreciate realism, moral ambiguity, and the darker corners of London’s past.
