The First Murder: A Detective Anton Tolbert Story (Murder Mystery with Anton Tolbert)

By Serge Chahal

A woman's body, folded into a suitcase. A detective haunted by love and death. A killer with a taste for flesh and a mind like no other. When Detective Inspector Anton Tolbert is called to a chilling murder scene on the banks of the Thames, he's met with a sight that will change everything--inside the suitcase lies the body of Amy, a woman he once loved, brutalized beyond recognition. Her death is no accident. It's a message. As Tolbert begins his investigation, he's pulled into a web of violent murders, all marked by the same sadistic signature: dismemberment, bloodletting, and a dark precision that earns the unknown killer a name whispered in fear--The Butcher. But the horror doesn't end there. Behind bars, a young man named Donny holds secrets he refuses to share--memories of watching his own father being chopped to pieces. As Tolbert pushes deeper, he discovers hidden connections between victims, witnesses, and the very institution meant to bring justice. With each step closer to the truth, Tolbert finds himself unraveling, emotionally scarred by the past and tormented by the present. As the killer circles ever closer, the detective must face his own demons to stop a murderer who thrives on chaos--and whose final act will shake the city to its core. The First Murder is a dark, psychological thriller steeped in graphic realism, complex characters, and relentless suspense. Gripping, disturbing, and brilliantly layered, it will keep readers guessing until the final, bloodstained revelation--and leave them hungry for the next case in The Tolbert Files.
