Ligny's Lake : The Race to Solve the Riddles of a Vanishing Man

A dead man alive at Melbourne's Festival Hall ...a merino-shaped lake ...a stolen copy of Thoreau's Walden ...ASIO's wall of silence ...Sandy Carmichael can pick up the pieces, but to fit the jigsaw together, he needs to risk his life.

Ligny's Lake, a thriller that weirdly echoes the disappearance of Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt, is another of the Wakefield Crime Classics. The Wakefield Crime Classics series revives forgotten or neglected gems of crime and mystery fiction by Australian authors.

Many of the writers have established international reputations but are little known in Australia. 'The Wakefield Crime Classics series is marvellous ...a wonderful collection of writing that should not have been overlooked in this country in the first place.' - Terry O'Connor, Courier Mail
