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.©2024 Patricia Wolf (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK Crime Thrillers International Mystery & Crime Mystery Police Procedurals Thriller & Suspense World Literature Crime Murder Exciting Scary Boston

Following Lucas's story again...and that he's not a perfect detective helps the story evolve.

Very enjoyable but I guessed the twist pretty early on. The narration was great but the fake American accent grew annoying quickly!

A bit predictable
