Marvin Dixon’s debut novel, Settlement, was published in 2019 inspired by his experiences in the world of financial services. Thus began the story of Justin Kell a financial journalist and private investigator with a passion for ensuring justice is done. Payback (2021) and Redemption (2022) continued Kell’s story with Brotherly Love being the fourth in the series.
Now retired from financial services and focussing on his writing, Marvin Dixon lives in West Yorkshire.
In the aftermath of the Horizon Life Settlement Fund scandal, Justin Kell is waiting for the trials of the Lebanese organised crime syndicate to end and for justice to be served. When unexpected events disrupt the proceedings, Kell’s world is turned upside down as he returns to face some old adversaries.
Recently established as a private investigator, his refusal to take on the case of a missing person leads to events from his past returning to haunt him, culminating in a race against time as he tries to stop a serial killer with a taste for blood.
As the two cases converge into a dramatic finale, Kell is faced with some life-changing choices.
Roddy Roan is an intense young man who attends the prestigious Wellington Private School in the Herefordshire countryside. As the dislike of his English teacher Bill Solomons becomes an obsession of revenge, his friends slowly distance themselves from the impending carnage. Solomons turns to his brother for help and circumstances unite them in a common cause, but as each of them battle their own demons, personal tragedy strikes.
Justin Kell reluctantly takes on the case of the suspicious disappearance of a city banker and quickly finds himself at the heart of a ruthless crime syndicate. It becomes a race against a time as he puts his life on the line with the stakes even higher when his personal life is turned upside down.
When cyber security expert Jack Neild goes missing in London it appears to be a straightforward missing person’s case. As the situation unfolds, Justin Kell’s sighting of an adversary from his past makes it clear that kidnap and organised crime are involved.
With the authorities struggling to make progress in finding Neild and suspicion of a critical event with a global implication increasing, Kell puts his relationship with his longstanding girlfriend on the line as he becomes central to the investigation.
When information from an unexpected source changes the dynamic of the operation, and with the body count increasing, the security services make their move, but will it be too late?
Former undercover police officer Justin Kell has settled into life as a financial journalist in the City of London. When he comes across a suspicious case of accidental death, his investigation leads him to Henry Gray, an unfulfilled soul whose life is dramatically changed by a series of coincidental events. Driven by his desire to establish the truth, Kell finds himself thrust into the world of organised crime whose cynical and ruthless exploitation of the lives of innocent people reawakens his nightmares from his time in the force.
Vicky Taylor was not looking forward to the coming year, and with good reason. No job, no boyfriend, and no prospects. However, a chance meeting with a charismatic young man and the promise of a new job help her start to put the dark days of her past behind her. Her life is looking up, but then Covid hits, and like the rest of the country, her world is turned upside down as the demons from her past return to haunt her.
Meanwhile, Justin Kell faces his own problems when Molly’s father becomes the victim of a callous investment fraud. The case puts him on the trail of a ruthless criminal determined to maintain his corrupt empire. With Molly expecting their first baby in the spring, the outbreak of Covid pushes their relationship to the limit, forcing Justin to make some stark choices.
When murder happens on his doorstep, the ensuing chain of events leaves Kell wondering if their lives will ever be the same again.
