"Complex, human characters, and a dark, meaty story, and fine writing, and a great sense of place this is one of the best crime thrillers of the year." -LEE CHILD ACCUSED but not convicted of a brutal abduction, Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey is now a free man-and public enemy number one. Maintaining his innocence, he flees north to keep a low profile amid the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake. There, Ted's lawyer introduces him to eccentric private investigator Amanda Pharrell, herself a convicted murderer. Not entirely convinced Amanda is a cold- blooded killer, Ted agrees to help with her investigation, a case full of deception and obsession, while secretly digging into her troubled past. The residents of Crimson Lake are watching the pair's every move and the town offers no place to hide. Book is in very good condition - former library book.
