The Bermondsey File — Jordan TurnerA Tom Dunn Thriller
An anonymous file lands on Grace Okenwa’s desk. Inside is a photograph of a schoolboy, three dates, and no explanation.
The dates belong to three deaths in Bermondsey, separated by years and officially unresolved. Tom Dunn and Grace begin quietly, with no case number and no authority to investigate.
What starts as a records enquiry leads back to a demolished school, frightened witnesses and a secret buried beneath decades of institutional silence.
The deeper they dig, the closer the trail moves to the people responsible for deciding what justice looks like.
“Some truths stay buried. Others come back to haunt you.”
