The Bill Murdoch Mystery series by Ged Gillmore features an unlikely detective. Bill Murdoch is a former drug dealer from England who arrives in a small Australian coastal town trying to outrun a criminal syndicate. When a tax inspector asks him to look into her missing niece, Murdoch reluctantly takes the job, only to find that his arrival stirs up more trouble than he bargained for.
Headland (2017) introduces Murdoch and the quirky coastal community. Class Act (2018) was longlisted for the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel, Australia’s most prestigious crime fiction prize. Base Nature (2018) rounds out the trilogy. The books combine dark humor with suspenseful plotting, set against vivid Australian small-town backdrops.
