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.
