The Dying Game
by Solomon Carter
2024
DI Joe Hogarth is forced into a cat-and-mouse case where a killer sets the pace. Each clue feels like a challenge, and the team has to break the pattern to win.
The Dying Beat
by Solomon Carter
2024
A brutal investigation turns into a contest, with Hogarth trying to stay ahead of an enemy who wants control. One mistake could cost another life.
Series background & context
The Dying Game arc is a high-pressure stretch of the DI Hogarth books where the investigation feels like a contest the detectives never agreed to play. A killer sets the terms, and every move by the police is answered with a new twist.
Hogarth is forced to work fast and think later, which is not his best habit. The case demands precision, and it punishes mistakes.
Sue Palmer and Ecrin Kaplin become essential here, not just as support, but as the voices that keep the team from running straight into a trap. The unit has to coordinate, share information, and keep emotions out of decisions, even when the situation makes that almost impossible.
The Dying Game sets up the threat and the rules. The Dying Beat keeps the tempo up, pushing toward a confrontation where the detectives have to bet everything they have learned.
If you like procedurals with a cat-and-mouse structure and a ticking clock, read these in order and let the game reveal itself.
