Misguided

Three elderly women are found dead in public places across Camden.
No witnesses. No struggle. One missing shoe from each body.

As the media fixates on a serial killer, Detective Inspector George Bristow and his team begin to uncover something far more uncomfortable than a lone predator. The murders are precise, patient, and rooted in a past no one wanted examined.

At the centre of the investigation lies a children's home, long closed, officially forgotten - and quietly protected. Former staff. Former residents. Careers built, reputations preserved, questions never asked.

As suspects fall away and alibis collapse, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:
this case isn't about opportunity - it's about silence.

Because when abuse is ignored, when institutions look the other way, and when power shields itself behind respectability, justice doesn't arrive cleanly.
It arrives late.
And it arrives angry.

Set against the backstreets, pubs, and parks of Camden, Misguided is a slow-burning crime novel about memory, complicity, and the cost of looking away - where the most dangerous thing isn't what people did, but what everyone allowed to happen.
