The Gold Hill Murders (Dorset Crime #13) Release Date: July 23, 2026

Published

DCI Lesley Clarke’s team is still reeling from the fallout of the Mudeford Spit case and the loss of a much-loved colleague.

But there’s no time to adjust. On the very day that they’re commemorating their friend, a new case comes in – a homeless man found dead at Shaftesbury’s iconic Gold Hill.

At first glance, the case looks straightforward: a drug addict, a tragic accident involving the flame he used to cook his next fix. But fire investigators are convinced this wasn’t an accidental death.

Was the man really the nobody he appeared to be, or something more? And who could have staged such an elaborate attempt to fool investigators?

Set against a backdrop of grief, tension between two key investigators and a blossoming romance for the newest member of the team, The Gold Hill Murders continues the million-selling Dorset Crime series with even more intrigue and drama.
