"S. R. White is the real deal" — Chris Hammer

Deep in the Australian wilderness, a famed sinkhole renowned as a stunning freediving spot attracts people from all over the world. But there's a dark, puzzling mystery when a local sports hero — and the glamorous face of a high-adrenaline video channel — is found dead far beneath the surface.

Despite diving the sinkhole hundreds of times, his lifeless body is discovered dressed in normal clothes, handcuffed to a supply line. With no witnesses — and evidence submerged 30 metres underwater — how can Detective Dana Russo unravel such a shocking case?
