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.
Our library stands on Wadawurrung Country. Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute acknowledges the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we work, learn and create. Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land.
