Death’s Touch

When the fog clears one December morning in Essex, the body of a teenage girl is discovered lying face down in a field.

The victim, Lily Monteith, was murdered in a peculiar and unique way — so unique that it could have only happened to her.

As a result, the case quickly lands on DS Tomek Bowen’s desk who, while trying to juggle his newfound life as a single parent to a thirteen-year-old daughter, must unearth the deadly sequence of events and bring the truth to light.

But as soon as the investigation begins, Tomek discovers Lily’s death may be linked to a killing spree that has lain dormant for many years — with no one ever being brought to justice for it.

And, if that’s the case, he fears another killing spree, this time years in the making, is yet to come.

Death’s Touch is the memorable third book in the DS Tomek Bowen Essex Murder Mystery series by Jack Probyn. Filled with twists, peppered with romance, and flavoured with ounces of dark humour, this fast-paced British detective novel will keep you guessing until the very end when the final shocking twist is revealed. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, JM Dalgliesh, TG Reid, Simon McCleave and Rachel Mclean.
