The Crimson Lake series is set in the swampy, crocodile-infested tropics of Far North Queensland. Ted Conkaffey, a former Sydney detective accused of a crime he says he didn’t commit, flees north and falls in with Amanda Pharrell, a woman who served time for murder and now runs a private investigation business.
Across three books, the unlikely pair takes on cases the police won’t touch while dealing with their own pasts. The series is known for its vivid Australian setting, dark humor, and two protagonists who are far from conventional heroes.
