# Death's Past - DS Tomek Bowen Essex Police Procedural - Book 10

When a powerful tidal surge churns up a set of bones deep in the marshes of South Essex, DS Tomek Bowen’s hopes for a quiet winter are quickly washed away.

Forensic examination reveals the remains belonged to a young child who died more than thirty years before.

Who was the victim? Why was he killed? And why does his death bear such striking resemblance to Tomek’s brother’s?

This Christmas, Tomek could get one or two more presents than he bargained for.
