A sporting legend. A brutal death. A dark legacy.

DS Lucas Walker is back home in Queensland, following the dramatic fallout from his last case. He is just getting to grips with his new role in the small outback town of Katima, when the body of an unknown young man is found hanging from a tree in the park.

What at first looks like a tragic suicide soon has Walker's detective instincts on alert, and he and his young partner throw themselves into the case - discovering a connection with an unsolved death.

And then a brutal murder changes everything. The victim is Caden Conroy, national cricketing hero, and the dark nature of his death leads to an unparallelled media frenzy.

When Walker is sidelined by Brisbane Homicide after being first on the scene, he must go his own way to unpick the deceit and corruption at the heart of these cases. Only then will he know if they are connected, and how - but at what cost?

Still reeling from Berlin, and with his own family in freefall, DS Lucas Walker faces one of his toughest cases yet in the fifth instalment of this gripping, bestselling Aussie Noir series - for fans of Jane Harper, Cara Hunter and Chris Hammer.

Absolutely bloody brilliant story. This lady knows how to write and draws you into the plot. Great characters as ever and loose ends tied up…or are they. I really like the main character and have been following from the off, can’t wait till the next one. This narrator is a joy to listen to, doesn’t over act and just gets on with the story.

Terrific

Excellent story, and loved the ending, lining up the next book with the return of a well known villain.

Doesn’t disappoint! Another great book with great characters. Missed the bikeys tho!

I don’t think I have ever not liked Patricia Woolf book. I wanted to read this one before the new Michael Connelly book, that is how highly I rate her stories. And they are proper stories that are worth reading about and great characters that you want to know about. And the icing on the cake is Australia and Aussies…

I love her books
