About this listen

When a man is found dead on the banks of the Edward River, Detective Sergeant Nick Vada is forced to return to Milford – the farming town he swore he'd left behind for good.

The victim is someone Nick knew from school. And the scene is disturbingly familiar. Back in 2004, the victim's twin brother, Jamie, drowned in that same river. It was ruled a tragic accident. But this new death, with its eerie echoes of the past, forces Nick to ask questions he thought he'd buried forever.

Teaming up with his partner, the unflinching Detective Joanna Gray, together they dig into the dead man's life – and his own past. But Milford isn't just a town with long memories. It's a place where the truth gets murky fast, and the river has a habit of hiding more than just bodies.

As they close in on the killer, Nick will have to face the possibility that Jamie's death might not have been an accident at all.
