The final book in the series, published in April 2018, brings to a close this first series by Solomon Carter featuring DI Hogarth. Hopefully, he will be appearing in many more series in the future.
The stunning crime finale with an epic conclusion!
DETECTIVE INSPECTOR JOE HOGARTH IS A MAN ON THE EDGE. HIS PRIVATE TROUBLES HAVE EXPLODED OUT OF CONTROL THE DI MUST STOP HIS SECRET CRISIS FROM BECOMING A CATASTROPHE. BUT CRIME DOESN’T STOP FOR ANYONE. AND WHEN A REFORMED VILLAIN BECOMES THE VICTIM OF A HIT-AND-RUN, A NEW CASE OPENS. A CASE WHICH THREATENS TO BE THE END OF DI HOGARTH – IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE…
Local scallywag Benny Spencer is mown down in a seemingly random accident. Witness PCSO Bec Rawlins asks for Hogarth’s help but DI Hogarth is in no fit state for police work. The strung-out DI is distracted by a secret crisis he must deal with alone. Even so, Hogarth must work the new case or fail his superiors, his team, and his conscience. But stretched to the limit, Hogarth makes bad choices and mistakes – the kind which could cost a copper his job – and may yet cost him his life
The Darkest Truth: One day in the life of DI Hogarth. One day which will make him or break him forever.
Hogarth can’t let go his secret mission. But the sea front hit-and-run won’t go away.
And as the bad choices pile up, a seemingly straightforward case becomes a nightmare all of its own.
And when two nightmares collide, Hogarth’s trouble reaches a critical mass.
Something bad is bound to happen. But the question is, to who?
DI Hogarth breaks all the rules in the book. He forges unholy alliances and takes risks he will live to regret. Saints and sinners, liars and looters form the most temporary of allegiances. And underneath the surface, it’s every man for himself.
In the epic conclusion of the Darkest series, with DCI Melford on the prowl, DI Hogarth must reap what he has sown. Hogarth may go down, and if he does, he’ll go down fighting…
The third in the gripping new series featuring DI Hogarth, this was edited and published in April 2018.
DI HOGARTH AND THE TEAM ARE CALLED IN TO INVESTIGATE THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF AGEING SOFT PORN STAR, AIMEE GILLEN. GILLEN’S PROLIFIC DRUG USE SUGGESTS AN EASY CASE – A SIMPLE OVERDOSE OR ACCIDENTAL DEATH – BUT HOGARTH HAS SERIOUS MISGIVINGS. IS THE DI THINKING STRAIGHT? OR HAS HOGARTH’S PRIVATE CRISIS FINALLY TAKEN ITS TOLL?
DC Simmons is back as the team are called to investigate a mysterious death at Harry King Studios. Soft porn actress Aimee Gillen was an unpopular figure at the studio, lonely and on her way out. Studio staff suggest Gillen had many reasons for choosing suicide – but Hogarth sees just as many clues point to murder. Why did Aimee Gillen abandon a line of cocaine just before she died? What caused the cracked tile outside the fatal sauna? And who were the mysterious friends Gillen wanted to help? Palmer and Simmons sense DI Hogarth is at risk of turning an easy case into quagmire. And the town’s VIPs soon turn against him.
In the hunt for justice Hogarth ruffles the feathers of the Police and Crime Commissioner. Politics and naked ambition get in the way of a clean investigation. There must be consequences. And as the trouble builds, Hogarth cannot find the evidence he needs. His credibility is soon called into question.
A busy week last week finishing two novels for Solomon.
The first was the final in the Harder They Fall series – a great finale, and the book will be available soon.
Unexpectedly, the day I returned the manuscript, I received a second for editing – the eighth in the short-read series, Black & Gold and this is now available – FREE this weekend!
Melanie has edited at least 20 of my books. In that time her services have proven to be professional, reliable and cost effective. She is approachable throughout a project and she is consistent in her work. Melanie also offers helpful insights to ensure your books reach the reader in the best shape possible. Her work often picks up on any technical and plotting issues which is vital to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for the reader. Highly recommended.
I thoroughly enjoyed editing this, the third novel in the Harder They Fall Series.
“In a race to uncover a killer, Dan must fend off those who mean him harm and weave a path between the lies and the truth. In a situation this deadly, that’s no mean feat.
Seconds out, Round 3…”
The best in the series so far with a missing person investigation set against the backdrop of an ongoing vendetta related to Dan’s past.
Another wonderful and humorous instalment in the Guesthouse on the Green series as Mammy and Moira travel Vietnam.
I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
I would have given five stars but for the missed typos - a few t...
I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.

Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
