Details
From Dinuka McKenzie comes a gripping debut crime novel set in rural Australia—where buried secrets surface and no one is as innocent as they seem.
When a devastating flood tears through a small Victorian town, it leaves destruction in its wake—and exposes a shocking discovery: a young woman’s body hidden beneath the water.
Detective Kate Miles is called in to investigate, but this isn’t just another case. The victim is connected to a powerful local family, and as Kate begins to dig deeper, she quickly realises the town is full of secrets people will do anything to protect.
With pressure mounting from all sides—media, community, and her own past—Kate must navigate a tense investigation where every lead uncovers more lies.
As the truth begins to surface, it becomes clear that the real danger didn’t come from the flood… but from what it revealed.
Atmospheric, tense, and deeply compelling, this story delivers a powerful mix of mystery, emotion, and small-town intrigue.
