Summary

In a beach paradise, an unspeakable crime is committed. The only witness lies in a coma, fighting for her life...

Australia's Gold Coast: On a stunningly beautiful stretch of coastline, a young mother is brutally murdered and her daughter, Gabby, is left in a coma, with her life hanging in the balance.

DS Lucas Walker has just arrived in Surfer's Paradise for some much-needed recovery after injuries sustained in his last investigation. But he is soon pulled into the dark twists and turns of this home invasion gone wrong, vowing to find the men responsible.

As Walker digs deeper into the dark underbelly of this shimmering city by the ocean, a case from his own past resurfaces, with deadly consequences.

And as eight-year-old Gabby, the sole witness to her mother's murder, wakes in her hospital bed, Walker is in a race against time to stop those responsible before they return to silence her forever...

Don't miss the next instalment in the tense and gripping DS Lucas Walker series. Fans of The Dry by Jane Harper, Cara Hunter and Chris Whitaker will be hooked from the very first page until the final breathtaking conclusion.

Good but…

I did not enjoy this book as much as the first book. I found the plot predictable, perhaps that was because I recently read another Aussie book of the same genre, with a very similar plot. That being said, I love the characters and the narrator and would definitely read more of this authors books

Eagerly awaited

Having read the first book, I couldn't wait for the release of Book 2 and now I'm hungry for more.
Great storytelling without unnecessary lengthy descriptions.

Thoroughly enjoying these books

I loved the first book in the DI Walker series so jumped straight into this one. As well as the great writing, gripping story lines and well formed characters, these stories depict Australia so vividly.

Note to self

Likeable main characters although slightly verging on the naive action man hero an enjoyable book.
