No one would head into crocodile heartland in the middle of a dark night. Andy and his best friend Eli live in a small coastal town in far north Queensland between the sugarcane fields and the mangrove swamps. When Eli's cousin Jacob is arrested for jewellery theft, Andy and Eli both know he didn't do it, but they'll have to prove it fast-before Jacob ends up in jail. The trail of clues leads them to a mysterious red-bottomed boat hidden deep in the mangroves- deep in the territory of the fearsome saltwater crocodile Sebastian. -- back cover.
