DEADLY CRIMES a gripping detective thriller full of suspense by Michael Hambling

Detective Sophie Allen faces her toughest challenge in a gripping new mystery by best-selling author Michael Hambling

A young man's mutilated body is found on top of the Agglestone, a well-known local landmark on Studland Heath

It seems that he was involved in a human trafficking and prostitution gang. But why is DCI Sophie Allen keeping something back from her team? Is it linked to the extraordinary discovery of her own father's body at the bottom of a disused mineshaft, more than forty years after he disappeared?

Discover an intricately crafted mystery that will have you gripped from start to finish.

DEADLY CRIMES is the second in a new series of police detective thrillers featuring DCI Sophie Allen, head of the recently formed Violent Crime Unit in Dorset. An English county which includes a stunning section of the coastline, but whose beauty belies darkness beneath the surface.

If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Mel Sherratt, Ruth Rendell, or Mark Billingham you will be gripped by this exciting new crime fiction writer.

Michael Hambling is based in the West of England, and his novels are set there as well. The Isle of Purbeck, a gorgeous seaside region, is the setting for the first two novels in the series. Nonetheless, scenes set in other parts of the central south of England are included, as well as scenes set in the remainder of Dorset county. He writes because he imagines scenes, characters, hypothetical conversations, and strange circumstances all the time in his thoughts. When he was a child, he has always done so.

It's a lot of fun to use the English language's richness to put these things into words. Perhaps by the time he's finished editing a passage for the hundredth time, it's starting to lose some of its luster for him, but he believes in reshaping and polishing it until it's as excellent as it can be. It therefore becomes something in which he can legitimately take pride. In his novels, he tries to include multiple plot layers.
