The Rising

In a town scarred by floodwaters, the past refuses to stay buried.

When a catastrophic flood rips through the rural town of Birradurra, a shocking cold case is discovered. Unearthed from the mud are the skeletal remains of a baby.

Shaken by this and haunted by her traumatic past, journalist Bec Carter is consumed with getting justice for the victim.

But when her friend Harry Adams who vowed to help with the investigation vanishes in violent circumstances, authorities look to Bec for answers.

Now the prime suspect in Harry’s disappearance, Bec must fight to clear her name and uncover the facts before another flood hits.

But nothing is straightforward, and someone will do anything to keep the past from resurfacing.

Twisty, atmospheric and utterly gripping, The Rising is a heart-stopping thriller where every secret comes with a cost — and some truths are better left hidden.
