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?

Blurb
A small mining town. A brutal double murder. A killer among them.
DS Lucas Walker is out bush with his little sister Grace from Boston. They're fetching his cousin Blair, who's been mining boulder opal in Kanpara. The town is tense with rumours of a big opal find, and Blair wants out.
But Kanpara is in Channel Country, and when the three try to leave the next day, they find themselves completely cut off. A deluge far north has flooded the rivers overnight, making the roads impassable. Then Blair receives a shocking phone call.
Two bodies have been found, brutally murdered.
Trapped, with a killer in their midst, Walker is in a race to uncover the murderer before the water recedes. And when Blair is arrested by local police, the stakes couldn't be higher. With all his focus on clearing his cousin's name, will Walker see how much danger his sister is in before it's too late?
The third thrilling instalment in the gripping and bestselling DS Lucas Walker series is full of breathtaking twists and dark turns - for fans of Jane Harper, Cara Hunter and Chris Whitaker.
