Canticle Creek is a twisty crime thriller set in a small town in Australia. Two bodies. One long, hot summer. A town that will never be the same.

When Adam Lawson's wrecked car is found a kilometer from Daisy Baker's body, the whole town assumes it's an open-and-shut case. But Jesse Redpath isn't from Canticle Creek. Where she comes from, the truth often hides in plain sight, but only if you know where to look. When Jesse starts to ask awkward questions, she uncovers a town full of contradictions and a cast of characters with dark pasts, secrets to hide, and even more to lose.

As the temperature soars, and the ground bakes, the wilderness surrounding Canticle Creek becomes a powder keg waiting to explode. All it needs is one spark.
