Synopsis:

One cop. One dealer. One phone call that changed everything.

DC Tom Kessler has spent sixteen years watching criminals slip the net. When he tips off a cocaine dealer about a raid, it's corruption - but it works. What begins as a tactical move becomes a dangerous alliance. Together, they bend the law to take down a crime lord who's threatened Tom's family. Once the line is crossed, there's no going back.

A Detective's Dilemma is gritty British crime fiction with procedural accuracy and psychological bite. Written by an ex drug squad detective who's been there. Many parts are true - you decide which.

This is the first instalment in a series that explores the moral compromises behind the badge. Kessler isn't a clean-cut hero - he's flawed, tactical, and driven by loyalty more than law. The tension comes not from spectacle, but from the choices that blur right and wrong.
