Base Nature: A chilling page turner that crackles with suspense
About this ebook
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.

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.’

About the author
Ged Gillmore completed degrees in languages and literature at the University of London before fancying a change to sunnier climes and moving to Sydney.
These days he spends his time between Australia, Ireland and the UK. When he's not falling off his surfboard at Bondi, or dabbling with a day job that pays the bills, he sits at his laptop and bashes out fiction.
The Bill Murdoch Mysteries launched in late 2017, and introduced Readers to "the world's most reluctant private investigator". HEADLAND, CLASS ACT and BASE NATURE have been well-received, regularly topping Amazon's best-seller charts, and in 2018 CLASS ACT was nominated for a Ned Kelly Award (Australia's oldest and most prestigious crime fiction prize).
In early 2022 Ged releases his first standalone international thriller, THE LIGHTNING ROD.
Ged has also turned his hand to children's fiction (the hilarious CATS ON THE RUN and its sequel CATS UNDERCOVER), as well as travel writing: in May 2019 he published 'Stans By Me', a memoir of his whirlwind travels through Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan), all told with a generous dollop of his deadpan British wit.
