Red Lake
Jason Summers
Sergeant Harper Quinn has returned to her sleepy hometown Koorinda in search of a quieter life. Until she learns that the town’s once glittering waterpark is being reopened, on the shores of its famous Red Lake: the place her little brother vanished into thin air 30
years ago.
And then Harper receives a call: a body has been found at the park.
Once again Harper finds her family at the centre of a shocking criminal investigation. This time, she is determined to find her own answers.
But when secrets run this deep, the truth can drag you under.
