Publisher's Synopsis
12.46: 13-year-old Claire Bingley stands alone at a bus stop. 12.47: Ted Conkaffey parks his car beside her. 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 - where a high-profile local man has just gone missing.
