Summary
The Number 1 Internationally Bestselling Ebook, perfect for fans of The Dry by Jane Harper.
'Tense, gripping and atmospheric' - CHRIS WHITAKER
'Gripped me from its shocking start' - SARAH YARWOOD-LOVETT
'I highly recommend it' - LYNDA LA PLANTE CBE
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?
This deeply atmospheric thriller is the gripping opening of a new crime series for fans of Cara Hunter and Chris Whitaker.
Shortlisted for the CWA New Blood Dagger Award 2023.

Really good listening!
I have selected it randomly, as I was looking for something different from non-fiction things, I am usually listening to. Good choice and several hours of enjoyable audiobook. I will probably try to find something more from this author.

Note to self
This engaged me enough to read the next book in the series. Likeable characters although the story was pushing the boundaries of realism.

Everything about this is excellent, a story that pulls you in immediately, and great narration. Can’t wait for next book. One of my favourite books of the year.

Nasty and compelling
This doesn't break new ground but it's a very good thriller, with a mean streak. The narration is really excellent.

Looking forward to the next one
I’m a big fan of Aussie crime fiction and this didn’t disappoint. A likeable main character, and for once he had no major hang ups or bad relationships. Good description of life in outback towns, the German sister was also well balanced which is quite refreshing, spot on narration

I did enjoy it, but have listened to 3 other books in the past three days and can’t recall very much about this!
