The Shadow Strikes by Solomon Carter
English | 2025 | Mystery & Thriller
A local artist is found dead in brutal fashion, his body left in the seafront boathouse that was his home.
When DI Hogarth discovers Seamus Garth lying in a pool of blood with his canvases scattered across the floor, he senses a cunning misdirection.
Garth existed on the fringes of town life, infamous yet forgettable, barely tolerated by the authorities while rubbing shoulders with the dregs of society. But there were others who knew him well… Others with hidden power and secret agendas.
DI Hogarth is thrust into a sinister investigation where nothing is as it seems.
Was Garth’s death the work of a ruthless gangster or the result of a moment’s wicked greed?
As Hogarth and Palmer delve deeper, they uncover visitors who met Garth by night and the rising threat of a gang war.
And in the shadows, unseen enemies are watching Hogarth and those he holds dear. Partnerships will be tested, alliances will shatter, and new dangers will emerge.
Caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Hogarth must unravel the truth before the shadows close in and claim everything… His friends. His colleagues. His lover. Perhaps even his life.
