Death’s Justice (DS Tomek Bowen Crime Thriller Book 1)

The past never stays buried. Neither do its victims.

Detective Sergeant Tomek Bowen thought he’d seen the worst of Essex’s criminal underworld. But when reformed criminals start turning up dead, he realises someone is playing judge, jury, and executioner. Each victim has paid their debt to society – but someone thinks they haven’t paid enough.

For Tomek, this case is different. Haunted by the childhood trauma of finding his brother’s body, his nights are already a battlefield of recurring nightmares. As the body count rises, he’s forced to confront not only a killer but the shadows of his own past. Every new victim brings him closer to a predator who believes that for some, redemption has a deadline.

THE SETTING
Southend-on-Sea, a coastal town in Essex, hides a darker side beneath its cheerful seaside veneer. The world’s longest pleasure pier stretches like a skeletal hand into murky waters, where mist clings to centuries of forgotten secrets. The surrounding area, with its quiet, winding roads through bleak marshes and flat farmland, holds a history of disappearances and whispered rumours. From the cobbled beaches to the unforgiving marshlands, murder and mystery lurk deep within the South Essex identity, and come and go as frequently as the tide.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Now on the wrong side of forty, DS Tomek Bowen has begun to worry more about the little things. Like the food he puts in his body, how many pints he can have without feeling too hungover, and what beard dye to use for his increasingly greying hair. All the important things. But when it comes to work, everything changes. He’s driven, dogged, and isn’t afraid to say what he thinks. Nor is he afraid to let others know when they’re wrong. A man who keeps his cards close to his chest, he likes to think he’s a hard nut to crack. But that won’t stop the criminals and villains he finds along the way from trying.
