The darkest secrets never stay secret for long…

When the body of a homeless man is discovered on Southend seafront, wedged between the beach huts of Thorpe Bay, the people of Essex don’t raise an eyebrow.

But when the post-mortem reveals the identity to be that of local MP, Herbert Tucker, the town begins to sit up.

As the tide of political and media pressure begins to swell, DS Tomek Bowen must navigate the turbulent waters of the MP's past to determine who would want to stage such a dramatic end for him.

Although, with a history as colourful as Herbert's, it soon becomes clear there’s no shortage of suspects.

Note from the author

Thanks for your interest in the DS Tomek Bowen murder mystery series. I first started writing the series in the summer of 2023 and have been blown away by the response to it. As an Essex boy myself, I love being able to explore the area in which I grew up in a different light. I hope you enjoy the series as much I've enjoyed writing it.

A dark gripping case for Tomek

MP Herbert Tucker was a really nasty piece of work, but just who considered him so bad that he deserved to be abducted from the council house car park, re-dressed in a homeless man’s clothes and murdered in a particularly horrible way? That’s the new case for the solid and very likable team at Southend CID, which includes Tomek, DCI “Nasty Nick” Cleaves, DI Victoria Orange, DS Sean Campbell and DCs Chey Carter, Nadia Chakrabarti, Rachel Hamilton, Oscar Perez, Anna Kaczmarek and Martin Brown, each with their very own distinct skill set which produces a highly efficient investigation. Whilst Tomek battles the nightmares about his brother’s murder 30 years ago, his teenage daughter Kasia is also struggling after her ordeal in the previous story and both will need help to lay those terrors to rest as he finds himself and his colleagues plunged into a very complicated case leading them to a vipers’ nest of suspects involving some high profile and apparently untouchable individuals. How long will it be until someone breaks their dark code of silence?
The comradery and humour are plentiful between all the detectives (Nick’s sighs in particular!) as they plough through mounds of evidence and seemingly fruitless leads in a gripping story with lots of twists and red herrings to fool the reader and an ending I didn’t see coming. The main characters are now firmly established and I can’t wait to see what happens to them all next!
