Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy crime thrillers with morally grey protagonists who are just as broken as the cases they're chasing.
  • You appreciate stories where personal and professional unravellings happen simultaneously, forcing characters to confront both at once.
  • You're drawn to standalone mysteries with strong British settings and that gritty, procedural feel without being cosy.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer lightweight reads or stories where the protagonist gets a clear redemptive arc by the end.
  • You want detective procedurals where the police work is the main focus, rather than a character study wrapped around a crime.
  • You're looking for fast-paced page-turners; this is character-driven and introspective alongside the mystery.

About this book

Journalist Abraham Hart's personal life is in crisis. His wife has left him, his teenage daughter refuses to communicate with him, and his career is failing. Hoping to start over, he returns to his hometown of Southend-on-Sea. However, when he becomes involved in investigating a young girl's mysterious death, he triggers a chain of dangerous events that pull him into the world of organised crime. As Abraham tries to piece together the truth, he encounters familial betrayal, police investigation, and an organised crime group determined to keep its secrets hidden. He must confront both the pain of his past and the dangers of his present circumstances. His search for redemption risks becoming a descent into darkness.
