The Darkest Truth – Solomon Carter

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…
