Patricia Wolf is an Australian-born mystery and thriller novelist best known for her debut novel, "Outback," which introduced the "DS Walker Thriller" series. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing in Queensland's rugged outback, her fiction captures the stark beauty and isolation of the Australian landscape. Before turning to novels, she spent over fifteen years as a journalist, contributing to prominent publications such as "The Guardian," "The Financial Times," "The Independent," and "The Telegraph."
Wolf's career in journalism included roles as a design columnist for "The Independent" and Lisbon correspondent for "Monocle" magazine. Her transition to fiction was influenced by a road trip through northwest Queensland, where the setting and protagonist of "Outback" took shape. Now based in Berlin, she continues to weave her deep connection to Australia's wilderness into her suspenseful narratives. Her work reflects a keen eye for detail honed through years of reporting, blending atmospheric storytelling with gripping mystery.
