Bowerstone Real Crime! is a book in Fable II that can be purchased from Old Town Miscellany Stall in Bowerstone Old Town. It seems to be a heroic, action styled tale of Derek, the guard who you were able to collect warrants for during Childhood. This book tells of how he went about to pursue Nicky the Nickname, and seems to indicate that the Good morality choice was taken, in which he received all the warrants in order to break up Nicky's Gang. If your choice was to give said warrants to Arfur, this book cannot be found, but instead the book Bowerstone Old Town will be sold at Old Town General Store.
