Book Title: Crimson Lake
Author: Candice Fox
Description:
A single moment can change everything. For Detective Ted Conkaffey, six minutes was all it took to turn his life upside down. Fleeing accusations of a crime he didn’t commit, Ted finds himself in Crimson Lake, a steamy, crocodile-laden wilderness in Queensland. In this remote refuge, he meets Amanda Pharrell, a quirky private investigator with a notorious past of her own. Together, they take on the case of a missing author with a life full of secrets.
But small towns are no safe haven, and Crimson Lake’s watchful eyes don’t miss a thing. With danger lurking in the swamps and the townsfolk’s suspicion mounting, Ted and Amanda must uncover the truth before it devours them both. Perfect for fans of gritty crime thrillers, this book pairs suspense with vivid Australian landscapes.

Six minutes - that's all it took to ruin Detective Ted Conkaffey's life. Accused but not convicted of abducting a teenage girl, he escapes north, to the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake.
Amanda Pharrell knows what it's like to be public enemy number one. Maybe it's her murderous past that makes her so good as a private investigator, tracking lost souls in the wilderness. Her latest target, missing author Jake Scully, has a life more shrouded in secrets than her own - so she enlists help from the one person in town more hated than she is- Ted Conkaffey.
But the residents of Crimson Lake are watching the pair's every move. And for Ted, a man already at breaking point, this town is offering no place to hide . . .
