Final Chapter: Garphil Bowles Completes Crime Trilogy with ‘Tears Of A Goon’

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Garphil "Geechie Dan" Bowles has published "Tears Of A Goon," the concluding installment of a three-book series following Special K., a young woman drawn back into a family war she thought was over. Studio CarryOnHarry received an announcement about the release, published through Fulton Books.

The novel picks up as adversaries whom Special K.’s father Ruthless and uncle Zoomlock thought they had eliminated return seeking revenge. The narrative reveals that the two men failed to recognize the true threat they faced, and it falls to Special K. to be the last of her family left standing.

Bowles writes from a background he’s been open about in promotional material for the series: spent thirty years in and out of prison through eight separate incarcerations before what he describes as a turn toward faith and reinvention. He grew up in Lawton, Oklahoma, and has said that history shapes the street narratives running through all three books.

"This work marks both the conclusion of Special K.’s narrative and an examination of redemption," Bowles said in the announcement. "I’ve lived these streets, served these sentences, and found grace where none seemed possible. Through this trilogy, I wanted readers to understand that no one is beyond transformation."

The publisher describes the book as pairing street-level tension with character development, built around the question of whether Special K. can outrun a legacy of violence or whether finishing the fight means giving something up herself. "Tears Of A Goon" is available now through Fulton Books’ website, Amazon, Apple iTunes Store, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, what stands out here isn’t the plot mechanics but the author’s own arc feeding directly into the fiction — a trilogy closer that’s as much about Bowles’s account of his own transformation as it is about Special K.’s survival.
