A federal election campaign is thrown into chaos when a popular government minister goes missing and then turns up dead on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. With Detective Darren Glass and the Australian Federal Police on the case, the investigation into the minister's murder quickly becomes entangled in a game of high-stakes politics - and all the while, the body count mounts. Detective Glass's suspects include some of the most powerful people in the land, and with the nation in shock and wanting answers fast, Glass has to negotiate a murky world of shifting allegiances, half-truths, and finger pointing, where everyone has a motive for murder. No one is safe, not even the prime minister. As election day nears, Glass risks everything for a breakthrough in the case, and his life is soon hanging by a thread.
