The Drowned Voice
(2025)(The second book in the DI Sue Palmer Mystery series)
A novel by Solomon Carter
A body in the water. A mole in the ranks. A conspiracy that won’t stay buried.
When a young man’s corpse surfaces off Leigh-on-Sea, Acting DI Sue Palmer knows it''s staged. The injuries don’t match a drowning. The redevelopment deals don’t match the truth. And the warning she received'''‘Look to Leigh, look to Rayleigh’—wasn’t just ominous. It was a map.
Inside the station, the scent of a familiar cologne confirms her worst fear: the mole who sabotaged her last case is still close. Watching. Undetected.
As Palmer’s team fractures under pressure, DC Ecrin Kaplan and DS Mark Simmons clash—professionally and personally. Surveillance goes off-book. Evidence vanishes. And every lead points to one man: a council planner with political protection and blood on his hands.
Then the threats turn personal. A scaffolding collapse nearly kills Palmer. Kaplan is targeted. And the mole moves in the shadows, manipulating every step of the investigation.
Palmer must lead a dangerous raid, confront armed enforcers, and decide who she can trust—before another body hits the tide.
"Taut, atmospheric, and impossible to second-guess."
Book 2 in the Palmer series is a gripping British crime thriller with forensic precision, emotional depth, and a conspiracy that cuts deeper than ever. No gangs. No gimmicks. Just a detective who won’t back down—and a mole who won’t let go.
Continue the series today and uncover the next unputdownable case.
