Roberts and Bradley: The First Cut #2
The Lost Girls
Detectives Roberts and Bradley have started again. But their old London lives are calling them back too soon… into the arms of a deadly mystery that their old mentor cannot solve.
When Devon Parker receives a request from a family friend, he can’t say no. A young woman is dead, her body found in a London park. But Devon can’t work the case alone. Instead, he calls his former proteges Roberts and Bradley to work on the investigation.
Roberts and Bradley answer the call and are soon embroiled in a dark and suspicious affair. The young woman was poisoned but leads are scarce.
Digging deep into the teenage victim’s life, they find a strange bracelet and must work to discover its meaning.
When another young woman dies they must take risks or more will follow.
Eva Roberts will put her dignity and her life on the line to expose the killer – but the real danger may catch her unawares.
The girls will fall. A killer will rise. And if Eva and Dan aren’t careful, they may be the killer’s next victims.
Meet detectives Eva Roberts and Dan Bradley as you’ve never seen them before.
Old enemies. Wicked foes. And darkness unseen.
In a thrilling conclusion, Eva and Dan must fight for their new way of life. Or die trying.

About the author
Solomon Carter
184 books99 followersHello folks,
My name is Solomon Carter, and I am the author of the Roberts and Bradley PI crime thriller series, The Last Line international thriller series, the DI Hogarth Darkest series and more. I write mysteries, crime and thriller novels and more besides.
I was born in Southend, Essex and lived there for most of my life apart from eventful student days in South London. But my life in Southend was even more eventful still. I ended up working in a string of jobs including as a jobcentre clerk, a book seller, tutor for youth with low skills and low self esteem, mortgage broker, and latterly manager of a food bank which dealt with all kinds of interesting people facing all kinds of eye-opening, jaw dropping problems. Because of these ear-to-the-ground jobs the majority of my novels are set in Southend. In 2016 I moved to North Cornwall because I liked the idea of never-ending holidays - but I also write almost every single day. My aim is to write action-packed thrillers and page-turning mysteries that readers love and my hope is to get better at what I do with every book across each and every year.
I like to give away lots of free books as part of what I do. If you would like to receive some of these and get the exclusives on offer, than you're invited to join my free readers group at SolomonCarter.net. I won't spam you, just send the occassional email with news on the latest books and forthcoming freebies.
And if you want to see the memes, personal shares and other oddball stuff I do, then you can join me at Facebook via www.facebook.com/solomoncarterwrites and join the fun there too.
What I am good at: telling stories
What I am bad at: dancing, being patient.
What I love: nature, the seaside, adventures
Writers I heartily recommend: Lee Child, Ian Rankin, Henning Mankell, Val McDermid, Harlan Coben, Robert Crais.
Writers I need to read more of: Val McDermid, Ian Rankin, Michael Connelly and others.
Other things I do beside writing: at present I like to keep my running going to balance out the sitting behind a laptop (a habit inspired by Haruki Murakami's 'What I talk about when I talk about running' - a great book).
-I am currently doing surf lessons. When in Rome, as they say...
-Getting out into nature as the weather allows.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Until then I'll keep on writing. Or running. Or surfing. Or chasing my children around the house.
All the very best,
Solomon :)

This was a good read, read it in a few days as wanted to know what happened after the end of the first book. Same with the second book. Have just started reading book 3.

I mentioned this part of this trilogy in my review of book 1, First cut, the story of Eva and Dan's escape from Devon Parker, their former boss and mentor,to what they imagine will be a more peaceful life in Southend, starting again on their own. They have a new, paying client - which is what they desperately need to get started - but Devon calls them back to London to search for the a friend of his Niece. Feeling emotionally blackmailed, Eva and Dan feel they have no choice. But the case turns out to be much more complicated than it at first seemed, and the client in Southend is calling them back. How Eva suffers a near death experience, then goes straight back to a very demanding client, while Dan is out doing his own investigation is hard to imagine. Meanwhile, the on going drug case continues to demand their attention. The third book in this trilogy is demanding my attention!
