The DI Hogarth Darkest Series: Books 3-4
(2018)(A book in the DI Hogarth series)
An omnibus of novels by Solomon Carter
The final books of the Darkest series in one set. Crime doesn't get much more thrilling than this...
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 clues pointing 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.
But Hogarth scents a killer - and he won't give up...
Hogarth must find one clue to blow the case wide open. If he can't, he will be finished.
Meanwhile, his secret crisis takes a worrying twist.
Hogarth is being watched. But how just many are watching?
And if Hogarth survives book one, a worse fate awaits in The Darkest Truth, as a crisis breaks, turning one day into a day of fateful reckoning....
In an epic conclusion, DI Hogarth must face down a host of enemies. Lose and his job is gone. Win and he may just bring justice. But a solved case still can't save the DI from another looming disaster...
Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and Ruth Rendell. If you love to read gripping detective thrillers with flawed lead characters or police procedurals with shocking twists and a noir flavour, then the DI Hogarth Darkest series is for you.
Readers have described the Darkest series as a best fit for fans of British crime thrillers, Female detective novels, British crime mysteries, Police Procedurals, Heist thrillers and Noir Thrillers.
A detective murder mystery packed with danger and thrills - The Darkest Lies set is a crime series you won't want to put down.
Setting:
Southend-on-sea: Just over an hour from London. A tough, densely packed suburban town. A place where wealth and glamour sit cheek-by-jowl with addiction, poverty and crime - a town sandwiched between the sparkling Thames Estuary and a semi-rural hinterland. Ex-Met Detective Joe Hogarth could have imagined he was signing up for sun, sea and semi-retirement when he transferred to the Essex coast. But it seems the merry hell of Southend might just have him beat. It's a good thing this DI doesn't know when to quit...
