The Shadow Strikes – Solomon Carter

The first in a new DI Hogarth trilogy.

A Murdered Artist. A Staged Crime Scene. A Dark Secret That Won’t Stay Hidden.

When Seamus Garth’s body is discovered in his old seafront boathouse, it seems like an open-and-shut case. Blood stains the floor, shattered glass litters the room, and a hidden ledger tells a damning story. But DI Hogarth knows better—this crime scene is lying, and the truth is far more sinister.

As Hogarth races to find the truth, whispers of midnight visitors and the shadowy threat of gang wars emerge. Each revelation cuts closer to his team, testing their bonds to the breaking point. And when another violent attack shocks Southend, Hogarth must race to expose a killer hiding in plain sight—before the shadow strikes again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Absolutely gripping! Couldn’t put it down.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A fantastic read—gripping from start to finish!”

Shadowy figures are closing in. Friendships will fracture. Trust will shatter. And when the trail runs cold, Hogarth faces an impossible choice: solve the mystery—or risk losing everything…
