#1 New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling Sydney-based author Candice Fox delivers a compulsive new crime thriller with Gone by Midnight.

Crimson Lake is where people with dark pasts come to disappear--and where others vanish into thin air...

When Sara Farrow's son goes missing from a locked hotel room, she frantically turns for help to Crimson Lake's unlikeliest private investigators--disgraced cop Ted Conkaffey and convicted killer Amanda Pharrell.

Just the sort of twisted puzzle that gets Amanda's blood pumping, the disappearance couldn't have come at a worse time for Ted. He has just this one week with Lillian, the daughter he barely knows...but the clock is ticking for the lost boy.

Amanda and Ted's search dredges up the area's worst characters, and the danger they uncover could well put Ted's own child in deadly peril.
