Returning home to rural Queensland, sidelined detective DS Lucas Walker must risk everything to uncover the corruption linking three deadly cases.

Following the dramatic fallout from his last case, DS Lucas Walker is getting to grips with his new role in the small outback town of Katima when the body of a young man is found hanging in the park.

What at first looks like a tragic suicide soon has Walker on alert and when a connection with another death emerges, he and his young partner throw themselves into the case.

And then a brutal murder changes everything. The victim is Caden Conroy, Australian cricketing hero, and the nature of his death leads to an unparallelled media frenzy.

When Walker is sidelined by Brisbane Homicide, he must go his own way to unpick the lies and corruption at the heart of these cases. Only then will he know if they are connected. But at what cost?

With his own family in freefall, DS Lucas Walker faces one of his toughest cases yet in this gripping, bestselling Australian crime series - for fans of Jane Harper, Cara Hunter and Chris Hammer.
