'From the author of the international bestsellers, Outback and Paradise, Patricia Wolf returns to the red dirt of Australia in this compelling sequel.

'DS Lucas Walker's half-sister Grace is visiting from Boston, and he is determined to finally prioritise family over work and spend a week introducing her to her Australian family. Plans change, however, when he discovers that his cousin Blair needs help to return home from a tiny, remote opal mining town, so he and Grace set off on a rescue mission to Kanpara. A life- changing opal discovery, murder, floods and vigilantes turn the planned overnight visit into a week of intrigue and danger, giving Walker no choice but to step in and help.'
