Northumberland Author Launches Fast-Paced Debut Crime Thriller Violet

​An author From Cambois has officially launched his debut crime thriller, bringing a brand-new, fast-paced story to British crime fiction fans.

​Written by Darren Bowes, Violet is a high-stakes, action-packed crime novel that follows police detectives as they race against the clock to dismantle a dangerous underground syndicate and stop a lethal new substance before it tears through the community.

​Inspired by a lifelong love for gritty British crime stories and fast-moving audiobooks, Darren took on the entire journey of writing, formatting, and self-publishing the 35,000-word book from scratch. The novel is now officially available on Amazon KDP in both eBook and paperback formats.

​"Taking an idea all the way from a blank page to a published book in your hands has been an incredible process," says Darren. "I wanted to create a story that grabs the reader from page one and doesn't let go—something sharp, realistic, and full of tension."

​With author copies arriving and local readers picking up the book, Darren is already hard at work on the sequel, Pure Violet, which expands the story onto a global scale.

​Violet is available to order now on Amazon in eBook and paperback. To follow updates on future releases, you can find the author on Facebook at Darren Bowes Author.
