SIX PAPERBACKS IN ONE CHEAPER BUNDLE The DS Tomek Bowen Series are fast-paced crime fiction stories featuring DS Tomek Bowen. The first six full-length books in this gripping series are brought together for the first time in this great value bundle. Books included in this collection: DEATH’S JUSTICE: When a mutilated body is found in a Southend-on-Sea allotment, DS Tomek Bowen is drawn into a chilling investigation that mirrors the murder of his brother thirty years earlier. The victim’s dark past points to enemies seeking revenge, but when a second body is discovered, Tomek realises he’s hunting a vigilante—a serial killer delivering their own twisted justice. DEATH’S GRIP: DS Tomek Bowen’s life has always been complicated, but his world is upended when he learns he has a thirteen-year-old daughter. Suspended from duty and struggling with the idea of fatherhood, he’s unexpectedly called back to work: a schoolgirl has been abducted after getting into a stranger’s car. Now reinstated, Tomek must navigate a volatile investigation while trying to build a relationship with the child he never expected. But as the search intensifies, one question haunts him: will he be too late for both the case and his chance at family? DEATH’S TOUCH: The body of 17-year-old Lily Monteith is found in a field, her murder chillingly unique — designed for her alone. DS Tomek Bowen, juggling a demanding investigation and life as a single father, uncovers a disturbing link between Lily’s death and a string of unsolved murders from years ago. As the clock ticks, Tomek must unravel the past to stop a killer perfecting their craft. Because this time, they’re not just hunting—they’re preparing for something far worse. BOOK 4 - DEATH’S KISS: When the body of a homeless man is discovered on Southend seafront, wedged between the beach huts of Thorpe Bay, the people of Essex don’t raise an eyebrow. But when the post-mortem reveals the identity to be that of local MP, Herbert Tucker, the town begins to sit up. As the tide of political and media pressure begins to swell, DS Tomek Bowen must navigate the turbulent waters of the MP's past to determine who would want to stage such a dramatic end for him. Although, with a history as colourful as Herbert's, it soon becomes clear there’s no shortage of suspects. BOOK 5 - DEATH’S TASTE: On a windy and blistering cold morning, Morgana Usyk, owner of one of DS Tomek Bowen’s favourite haunts, Morgana’s Café, visits Mulberry Harbour a little over a mile out to sea. A short while later, her body is found in the shallows, floating beside the harbour. Early reports and eyewitness accounts they saw the killer fleeing the scene. But when storm Alisha rolls in, washing away all evidence, Bowen and the team are left stranded. Now the water’s rising. And Morgana’s is not the only body they're going to find in it. BOOK 6 - DEATH’S ANGEL: When flight attendant Angelica Whitaker is reported missing after a night out at one of the most popular nightclubs in Southend, the case is handed to DS Tomek Bowen for the first time in his career. As soon as the investigation begins, the finger is pointed at the man she danced with at the club, but when her body is later found in a church, posed like an angel, the same fingers begin to point towards a calculated, composed, and sadistic killer. But as the investigation progresses, and as Tomek delves deeper into the victim’s life, it becomes clear that there is no shortage of suspects, and everyone’s got their secrets — some more than others… Set amongst the flat coastline of south Essex, THE DS TOMEK BOWEN MURDER MYSTERIES: BOOKS 1-6 collection presents gripping, edge-of-your-seat crime fiction stories that will keep you guessing right up to the nail-biting, heart-stopping climax. Welcome to Southend-on-Sea, where crime, murder and betrayal lurk beneath the bright lights and dizzying attractions. The only question is, can you work it out before Tomek does? 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.
