Opal - Patricia Wolf

Book Title: Opal
Author: Patricia Wolf

Description:
Set in the desolate yet mesmerising outback of Queensland, Opal plunges readers into a storm of murder, suspicion, and survival. When DS Lucas Walker heads to the remote mining town of Kanpara with his sister Grace to collect his cousin Blair, the trio find themselves caught in the grip of a natural disaster—and something far darker. Rumours of a major opal discovery have set the town on edge, but the unearthing of two brutal murders quickly shifts the focus.

With Kanpara isolated by floods, everyone is a suspect, and time is running out. Walker must race to prove Blair’s innocence while unravelling the grim secrets buried in this tight-knit community. But with danger closing in on Grace, can Walker save his family before the waters recede and the killer escapes?

The third book in the DS Lucas Walker series, Opal delivers gripping twists and chilling revelations, perfect for fans of Jane Harper and Chris Whitaker.
