About this listen

A small mining town. A brutal double murder. A killer among them.

DS Lucas Walker is out bush with his little sister Grace from Boston. They're fetching his cousin Blair, who's been mining boulder opal in Kanpara. The town is tense with rumours of a big opal find, and Blair wants out.

But Kanpara is in Channel Country, and when the three try to leave the next day, they find themselves completely cut off. A deluge far north has flooded the rivers overnight, making the roads impassable. Then Blair receives a shocking phone call.

Two bodies have been found, brutally murdered.

Trapped, with a killer in their midst, Walker is in a race to uncover the murderer before the water recedes. And when Blair is arrested by local police, the stakes couldn't be higher. With all his focus on clearing his cousin's name, will Walker see how much danger his sister is in before it's too late?

The third thrilling instalment in the gripping and bestselling DS Lucas Walker series is full of breathtaking twists and dark turns - for fans of Jane Harper, Cara Hunter and Chris Whitaker.

Excellent

Patricia Wolf is proving to be very reliable!
As with all these series you have to slightly suspend an element of disbelief (is it likely that family members regularly get pulled into dangerous police work?) but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Listened to it all within 24 hrs and looking forward to the next!

Brilliant

Gripping thriller - I was immersed in this for days, desperate to stay with the action. Patricia Wolf's best, I reckon, and very well done by Audible.

Not a PR blurb for Australians

I find Wolf’s stories a bit more protracted than ideal, or that could be an effect of the Australian landscape and describes. But most grating for me is how unlikeable most of the characters can be. I did not enjoy living in Oz but even I did not find such a large proportion so distasteful.
