Six minutes in the wrong place at the wrong time{u2015}that{u2019}s all it took to ruin Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey{u2019}s life. Accused but not convicted of a brutal abduction, Ted is now a free man{u2015}and public enemy number one.

There, Ted{u2019}s lawyer introduces him to eccentric private investigator Amanda Pharrell, herself a convicted murderer.
