About this ebook
'I absolutely adored this book and devoured it over a couple of days! It has easily been one of my favourite books of the year' Reader review, 5 stars
A DANGEROUS CHASE. A SADISTIC KILLER.
DS Lucas Walker is on assignment for the AFP, and it couldn't be more personal. This is his last chance to take down Stefan Markovich - the Vandals leader who tried to have him killed after Walker uncovered his drug operation, and has evaded justice for years.
Having tracked Markovich to Berlin, Walker heads to Germany to lure his nemesis out of hiding and into custody. And there is another draw for Walker in Berlin: he finally gets to see Barbara again.
Still dealing with the trauma of her sister's ordeal in outback Australia, Barbara is working her own case - a suspicious death that casts a dark shadow over a peaceful lake colony. Everything about the horrific scene tells Barbara it's murder, and when a second body emerges she realises she is hunting a killer who is watching their victims die in agony.
As Walker and Barbara grapple with their cases, they must also face their feelings for each other - amid the constant threats of the world they inhabit.
The fourth gripping instalment in the bestselling, atmospheric DS Lucas Walker series is full of shocking twists and thrilling turns - for fans of Jane Harper, Cara Hunter and Chris Whitaker.
Readers absolutely LOVE Nemesis!
'I finished Nemesis in a single weekend, completely hooked from start to finish. Patricia Wolf has once again crafted a smart, gripping thriller that keeps you guessing-and I can't wait to see where she takes DS Walker next' Reader review, 5 stars
'This book has it all - police procedure, crime, romance, a very fine sense of place and a continuing story that can happily be read on its own. However, if you haven't read the first three books in the series, you're missing out on some exceptional writing and stories, so read those first!' Reader review, 5 stars
'If you like Jane Harper, then Patricia Wolf should be on your reading list too. Excellent characters, plotting and more than a couple of well hidden twists. Highly recommended' Reader review, 5 stars
'I began reading this series for the Australian setting but now DS Luke Walker, his cases and colleagues, have me hooked no matter the story's locale! ...a great plot that keeps moving at a good pace with action and danger to make the climax exciting' Reader review, 4.5 stars

I enjoyed it as i did the earlier books..my one peeve which is likely just personal is the two plots..one engaged me and brought the two main characters together in a way that made sense..the other was rather dry and read like it was a filler. i would have prefered the poison storyline developed to bring lucas into it more fully and left the other vandals story to another time adding a little more meat to it.

🌏Aussie cop determined to get his man!🌍 4.5🌟 I began reading this series for the Australian setting but now DS Luke Walker, his cases & colleagues, have me hooked no matter the story's locale! Walker is in Germany to nab his criminal nemesis Markovich & his case gets him back together with German colleague Barbara whose backpacking sister he helped rescue in the first book in the series. Walker, dyed in the wool Australian, has never been to Europe: fun seeing it through his eyes. Exciting!

About the author
Patricia Wolf has been a journalist for more than 15 years, a regular contributor to titles including The Guardian, the Financial Times, The Independent and The Telegraph, among others. She grew up in outback Australia, in a mining town called Mount Isa in far north-west Queensland - eagle eyed readers will have spotted a small reference to it in her first book, OUTBACK. Patricia loves the rugged beauty, indigo sky and wide horizons of the outback, but left Australia after university to travel the world and became a journalist. She lives in Berlin, Germany, but the outback always calls her home. In 2019, just before the covid pandemic locked us all in, Patricia spent two months in northwest Queensland, taking a four-week road trip. As she drove and spent nights and days surrounded by the beauty and rugged harshness of the outback, DI Lucas Walker and his stories came to be.
