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.

A great story
This has a fast and compelling storyline with strong characters, an unusual setting; which makes it even more interesting.
The narration is excellent throughout. I enjoyed it so much that I listened to it over a couple of days. Highly recommended.

Great Story
A great listen that is narrated very well. The outback setting makes it more interesting to imagine and ties well with the Australian narrator.

Tourism, outback, drugs, bars, Detectives, romance, dodgy cops... all packed into this relatively short but highly entertaining novel. Well worth a listen!

Fast paced Aussie noir
Really enjoyed this. DS Walker is on leave and gas gone to stay with his seriously ill grandmother. Two backpackers go missing and he’s drawn into the enquiry by local police.
Well developed characters and a plot that’s action packed, plausible and full of twists. Great sense of overwhelming and oppressive heat and isolation in the remote setting. Atmospheric and narration throughout is excellent. Looking forward to more.

10/10
Amazing debut … I’d be surprised if this isn’t turned into a film/tv show. Breathing life into a tired gene. Can’t wait for book 2 !
