The Deadly Gaze
(2021)(The second book in the DI Hogarth Deadly Kiss series)
A novel by Solomon Carter
DETECTIVE JOE HOGARTH IS BACK ON THE HUNT WHEN A DANCER IS FOUND DEAD AT HER HOME A IN LUXURY APARTMENT BLOCK. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THE WOMAN WAS SUFFOCATED... THE CASE HAS BARELY BEGUN WHEN THE KILLER STRIKES AGAIN... AND HOGARTH’S PROBLEMS REACH NEW HEIGHTS WHEN SLIPPERY ENEMY SIMON DRAWTON DEMANDS HELP TO STOP HIM COMMITTING A MOST DESPICABLE CRIME.
WITH THE MURDER CASE TAKING IT’S TOLL, HOGARTH COULD BE BLIND TO THE RISKS…
The links between the murders seem superficial at first, but their close proximity must count for something. Under pressure of time, DI Hogarth struggles to find the clues to help track the killer. To make quick progress, he is willing to ask the ambitious Ecrin Kaplan to lend a hand. But barely a constable, young Kaplan isn’t confident enough to share her special insights. Hogarth believes Kaplan has seen something of use… But as the pressure mounts, and the death toll rises, Hogarth cannot wait for long. If he does, another innocent woman will surely die…
A race against the clock.
A clutch of suspects.
A shortage of evidence.
How can they stop one man from playing God?
Join DI Hogarth, Palmer and Kaplan as they race to track the killer and overcome the odds stacked against them.
Can they stop the killer? Will Hogarth fall into the worst of traps?

The Setting:
Southend-on-sea, Just over an hour from London. A tough and densely packed suburban town sandwiched between the sparkling Thames Estuary and a semi-rural hinterland of fields and marshes. A place where wealth and glamour sit cheek-by-jowl with addiction, poverty and crime. When he transferred to the Essex coast, ex-Met Detective Joe Hogarth might have imagined he was signing up for sun, sea and semi-retirement. But the merry hell of Southend might just have him beat. It’s a good thing this DI doesn’t know when to quit…
