De: Patricia Wolf

Narrado por: Adam Fitzgerald

TWO MISSING BACKPACKERS. ONE VAST OUTBACK.

DS Lucas Walker is on leave in his hometown, Caloodie, taking care of his dying grandmother. When two young German backpackers, Berndt and Rita, vanish from the area, he finds himself unofficially on the case.

But why all the interest from the Federal Police when they have probably just ditched the heat and dust of the outback for the coast? Working in the organised crime unit has opened Walker's eyes to the growing drug trade in Australia's remote interior - and he becomes convinced there is more at play.

As the number of days since the couple's disappearance climbs, Walker is joined by Rita's older sister. A detective herself with Berlin CID, she has flown to Australia - desperate to find her sister.

Their search becomes ever more urgent as temperatures soar. Even if Walker does find the young couple, will it be too late?©2022 Patricia Wolf (P)2022 Bonnier Books UK

Great Find

Found this book while looking for writers like Jane Harper and it is a great find. Story, characters, atmosphere and narration are all quite good. Held my attention all the way through and I will definitely get the next book in series.

Outback delights

Surprising plots and sub plots everywhere with action and suspense always building so much so I didn’t realise it ended?

An enjoyable read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have been to Australia, and that gave an extra bonus because I could relate to the setting. I like the main character and I look forward to reading more about Lucas Walker.

Atmospheric and believable.

It was excellent. Well written and a nice change from the usual testosterone fueled male protagonist

Great listen

Really enjoyed this book and I am going to download the next book in this series!!
