Candice Fox is the middle child of a large, eccentric family
from Sydney’s western suburbs. The daughter of a parole officer and
an enthusiastic foster-carer, Candice spent her childhood listening
around corners to tales of violence, madness and evil as her father
relayed his work stories to her mother and older brothers.
Candice won back-to-back Ned Kelly awards for her first two novels
– Hades and Eden. She is also the author of the critically
acclaimed Fall, Crimson Lake, Redemption and Gone by Midnight.
Candice’s first collaboration with James Patterson, Never Never,
was a Sunday Times and New York Times no. 1 bestseller. They have
co-authored three further novels featuring Harriet Blue – Fifty
Fifty, Liar Liar and Hush Hush.
From the New York Times bestselling co-author of Never Never comes
an ingenious and edgy suspense novel that will keep you guessing to
the very last page . . .
Six minutes. That’s all it takes 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.
