Patricia Wolf

Patricia Wolf is an Australian-British author of crime thrillers whose DS Walker series has established her as a compelling voice in outback noir. She grew up in the mining town of Mount Isa in far northwest Queensland and now lives in Berlin. She has been a journalist for more than fifteen years, contributing to The Guardian, The Financial Times, The New York Times, and The Telegraph. Wolf's DS Walker series follows Detective Sergeant Lucas Walker through cases set in the vast, unforgiving landscapes of outback Queensland, where isolation, heat, and the distances between communities create a unique and atmospheric crime fiction setting. Hero continues the series, with Walker investigating the death of a national cricketing hero found hanged in a small outback town, triggering an unprecedented media frenzy. Her earlier novels include Outback, Paradise, and Opal. Her journalistic background and her intimate knowledge of outback Australia give her fiction both credibility and atmosphere. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers gripping Australian crime fiction set against some of the most dramatic and unforgiving landscapes on earth — stories where the land itself feels like a character.
