- Book 3 of 3: A Bill Murdoch Mystery
Murdoch takes on two cases in as many days. First he is hired to find local man, Scott Patterson, the victim of a mysterious abduction. Then an impressive stranger arrives in town with a tempting offer.
But has Patterson really been abducted?
And is the stranger all he appears to be?
As Murdoch gives in to temptation and risks everything by returning to his old criminal ways, the hunt for Scott Patterson takes an unexpected turn. Soon Murdoch and his partner, Davie Simms, are dragged into a depraved underworld of human trafficking, prostitution and torture, where they will find evil on their doorstep, and face a desperate fight for their lives.
BASE NATURE - Prepare yourself for a breathless journey to the darkest corners of human nature.
** THIS IS NOT THE AUSTRALIA YOU’VE SEEN ADVERTISED **
BASE NATURE is the third book in the Bill Murdoch Mystery series (HEADLAND #1, CLASS ACT #2, BASE NATURE #3). Set in Sydney, and small town Australia, this series will appeal to fans of Garry Disher, Peter Corris, Jane Harper, and Peter Temple. Followers of Dave Warner, Jay Stringer, Faith Martin, and Chris Collett will get a kick out of the Murdoch Mysteries too.
Praise for BASE NATURE:‘This is the third book in a series, that can be read standalone, but all three are suspenseful and enjoyable. The characters are fully developed and feel like a person who lives next door. It is exciting to travel with them through this interesting journey!’
‘I love this series, cannot wait for #4. The plots hold my interest and the characters are great. The interaction between Bill and Davie really is the heart of all the books. Very suspenseful, loved it!’
‘Really good Aussie writing.’
‘As with Murdoch’s previous adventure in A Class Act, the writing and dialogue here is first rate and the mystery surrounding Patterson’s disappearance is played out expertly over the length of the book; like the author is laying down a trail of breadcrumbs. Don’t eat them too quickly though as there is plenty to be savoured here.’
Bill Murdoch. Your new favorite private investigator.
