Dead Man Running unravels the story about Kim Avis, an eccentric street performer from Inverness who became one of Scotland’s most wanted men. When Avis vanished off California’s infamous ‘Mortuary Beach’, he was presumed dead, sparking a transatlantic search and a media frenzy. But as investigators dug deeper, a far darker truth emerged: Avis had faked his own death to evade justice for some of the most shocking sexual abuse crimes in Scottish history.
Spanning continents and decades, Dead Man Running uncovers how his crimes were hidden in plain sight, and how one man’s disappearance unraveled a chilling case of deception, abuse, and betrayal.
