12.52: The girl is missing . . .Six minutes - that's all it took to ruin Detective Ted Conkaffey's life.
Accused but not convicted of Claire's abduction, he escapes north, to the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake.
Amanda Pharrell knows what it's like to be public enemy no.1. 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 . . .

When former detective Ted Conkaffey is wrongly accused of abducting a teenage girl, he hopes the Queensland town of Crimson Lake will be the perfect place to disappear.
But nowhere is safe from the girl’s devastated father. Dale Bingley plans to take brutal revenge – and if Ted can't find the real abductor, he’ll be the first casualty.
Meanwhile, on the beer-soaked floor of a nearby roadside shack, two young bartenders lie dead.
As the homicide investigation unravels, Ted and his unlikely ally, private detective Amanda Pharrell, are brought in to assist on the case.
While Ted fights to clear his own name, their hunt for the killer draws them into a violent dance with evil.
They have one shot at redemption. It just might cost them their lives…
