Murder On Gold Street: Every street has secrets. Gold Street has murder.

By R.S. Moore

A Detective Rickets Crime Thriller

A body in the bushes. A city full of secrets. One detective who won't let go.

Detective Steve Rickets wanted nothing more than a quiet Sunday morning. Instead, he's called to Gold Street, where the mangled body of financier James Firth lies in the mud. What begins as a straightforward homicide soon unravels into a case tangled with money gone missing, dangerous liaisons, and lies stacked high enough to bury the truth.

Rickets, a seasoned detective carrying the scars of divorce, age, and a bad back, is partnered with ambitious young detective Sarah Branson. Together, they follow a trail from Carlton's leafy terraces to Collingwood's grimiest backstreets, uncovering a web of betrayal: a wife with secrets, a business partner with millions unaccounted for, a daughter with a dangerous lover, and a forensics clue that points closer to home than anyone expects.

Every answer only raises more questions. And in the dark corners of Melbourne, trust is as scarce as mercy.

Fans of Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin, and James Patterson will be gripped by Murder on Gold Street-the first book in the Detective Rickets series, where justice has a price and every secret comes at a cost.
