London, 1971.
Nell is a university student in London, desperately trying to put a traumatic episode in her past behind her.
But as a series of murders reveals a brutal, twisted killer, obsessed with Jack the Ripper, Nell recognises his mark, and realises her terrifying nightmares might just be coming true.
Determined Detective Briony Williams, also just starting out on her life in London, is part of the team tracking down The Walker.
The elusive, erudite killer is a practised anatomist with a theatrical streak, arranging his victims’ bodies in grotesque parodies of Hogarth’s engravings.
When The Walker sends a perfectly extracted eye to the police in a Tupperware container, with a defiant message, all of Briony’s (male) team believe she is in over her head, and attempt to consign her to desk work.
The killer seems to be planning a reunion with the schoolgirl who found his first victim.
These two young women see London as a place of hope and promise, but they soon discover that new times mask age-old evil in this dark psychological thriller…
‘The Walker’ was the winner of the Ned Kelly Award for best crime novel.
Jane R Goodall was born in Yorkshire, England, attended school in Adelaide, and went to university in London before returning to live in Sydney. She teaches in the School of Contemporary Arts at the University of Western Sydney. She is also the author of ‘The Visitor’ and ‘The Calling’.
