DI Hogarth Poison Path #2
The Hunter's Path
HOGARTH AND PALMER ARE CALLED WHEN THE BODY OF A HOMELESS MAN IS FOUND IN A NIGHTCLUB CAR PARK. THE MAN WAS HARMLESS AND MUCH LOVED IN TOWN. BUT WORSE STILL IS THE RUMOUR THAT TWO YOUNG STREET GIRLS HAVE GONE MISSING, ABDUCTED BY A SINISTER COUPLE WHO USED A CHEMICAL SEDATIVE. THE TOWN AUTHORITIES SAY THE STORY IS A FANTASY, DENYING ANY YOUTH HOMELESS PROBLEM. BUT HOGARTH ISN’T PREPARED TO TAKE THE RISK...
A mysterious couple prey on the most vulnerable people in town, stalking them by night
Two young girls from a gang of three are taken. One got away. Hogarth is determined to find the kidnapped children while the hunters are out to find the last of their prey.
Two sets of very different predators stalk the The police on one side, the kidnappers and killers on the other… Caught in a race against time which will determine the fate of three young women, and much more besides.
Meanwhile Hogarth’s former lover Ali Hartigan is in grave peril risk at HMP Belfield. But a brand new inmate could face a far worse fate.
Danger stalks the streets by night.
Predators strike while backs are turned.
Blood is spilled on the streets and in prison corridors.
In a thrilling conclusion, Hogarth and his team must track the killer kidnappers and uncover their motive or another innocent will die.
Join DI Hogarth as he walks the Poison Path…

Southend-on-sea, Just over an hour from London. A tough and densely packed suburban town sandwiched between the sparkling Thames Estuary and a semi-rural hinterland of fields and marshes. A place where wealth and glamour sit cheek-by-jowl with addiction, poverty and crime. When he transferred to the Essex coast, ex-Met Detective Joe Hogarth might have imagined he was signing up for sun, sea and semi-retirement. But the merry hell of Southend might just have him beat. It’s a good thing this DI doesn’t know when to quit…

About the author
Solomon Carter
186 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 :)

A mystery you. cannot put down
I woke up at five am and picked up this book. I read so lucky until seven thirty and then found I had finished the book. I was disappointed in only only- one way I didn't have the next in the series ready to read .
Solomon Carter sets his books in and around Southend. He has a score set of characters that appear in some combination in all the books I have read but you can read them independently.

Excellent book. Kept me awake until midnight as I had to get to the end. Well written. For the first time in a book I have no picture in my mind what some of these characters look like which does not matter. Started the third one straight away as I want to get to the end of the series to see how it pans out.
Can see this as a TV series.

Super read
Another really enjoyable read, these are stories that get you turning the pages faster and faster the more you read. This has set the scene for a really interesting final book in this series.

Great book
Great book a lot of new twists. The writing is getting better each book. Simmons has come up a bit but still has a lot to learn.

The murder of a homeless man & the abduction of minors on the streets of Southend is the gist of this story. Faster paced than the others in the series for me anyway.

Again, another good read. The characters have real flaws, human traits that you can understand and get. Looking forward to the next book
