Death's Kiss

The darkest secrets never stay secret for long...

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.
