Every Thriller Reader Needs an Amateur Detective Starter Kit

Before I was a mystery reader, I was a Honey West fan. Between her pet tiger, signature beauty mark, and crime-solving adventures, she convinced me that detective work looked like a lot of fun. In honor of every thriller reader who's ever been absolutely certain they knew who the killer was, here's my completely unofficial starter kit for solving a murder—without actually solving a murder.

Hero, Patricia Wolf

HERO is the 5th book in the DS Lucas Walker series that has taken him from outback Queensland to Germany and back, and from the Australian Federal Police to the Queensland Police Force. One thing that stays the same though is the outreach of organised crime, which is surprisingly prevalent in these small Queensland towns.
