Hateful Crimes (Detective Sophie Allen #15) Release Date: October 29, 2026

Coming Soon

A brand-new British crime mystery set on the Dorset coast from bestselling author Michael Hambling.

Meet Detective Sophie Allen. She’s an expert on murder and violent crime. Her brilliant mind works tirelessly to put the most vicious criminals behind bars, but conceals dark secrets from her own past.

‘Hello? Is that the police? I think I’m being stalked . . .’

Two weeks later, Linzi Brightman’s body is pulled from Christchurch Harbour. Killed by a vicious blow to the head — and left to drown.

At first glance, Linzi’s life is spotless. A respected university lecturer. Popular. Outgoing. Uncomplicated.

But Sophie Allen knows better.

Because someone was watching Linzi in the weeks before she died.

Witnesses remember a heated argument in a local Italian restaurant, between Linzi and a man no one can identity. No name. No trace. Just anger . . . and something darker beneath it.

Then another body surfaces.

A young woman pulled from the River Avon, just a few miles away. Dead for months.

Two victims. One pattern.

This wasn’t random.

Someone is choosing his targets. Studying them. Waiting.

And he’s not finished yet.

Discover a captivating crime mystery which will have you gripped from start to finish.

Perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, J.D. Kirk, J.M. Dalgleish, or Pauline Rowson.
