By: James Patterson, Candice Fox

Narrated by: Federay Holmes

A chilling thriller set in the Australian Outback, from the pen of the world's best-selling writer, James Patterson, and cowritten with award-winning crime writer Candice Fox.

The Australian Outback is the perfect hunting ground....

Detective Harriet Blue needs to get out of town fast. With her brother under arrest for a series of brutal murders in Sydney, Harry's chief wants the hotheaded detective kept far from the press. So he assigns her a deadly new case - in the middle of the Outback.

Deep in the Western Australian desert, three young people have disappeared from the Bandya Mine. And it's Harry's job to track them down. But still reeling from events back home, and with a secretive new partner at her side, Harry's not sure who she can trust anymore. And in this unforgiving land, she has no idea how close she is to a whole new kind of danger.

Not expected standard

There are excellent female actors with presence and enough life experience to represent different characters. mine workers, foreman, cops of both genders. This narrator is not one of them. Even on a long drive I couldn't listen to this for an hour. Finishing was more painful than I like my books to be. when my partner was in the car she couldn't handle the voice for more than 5 minutes. It may have been a better story than I rated but compared to the previous Fox books and their narrator, this was pretty disappointing.
