Summary:

A ward-winning Australian novelist Darren Williams creates a dramatic tale of psychological suspense in his American debut novel.

After a week lost in the outback, thirteen-year-old Tom Ferry miraculously makes his way back to Angel Rock. But to the horror of everyone in the small town, he is alone. Exhausted and traumatized, he can't remember what happened to Flynn, his little brother. And although his health quickly recovers, his memory doesn't. Shortly thereafter, a young woman from the town is found dead in Sydney, an apparent suicide. Detective Gibson, long disturbed by his own sister's death, travels to Angel Rock as part of a personal investigation into her desperate motives. Upon his arrival, he discovers a web of intense bitterness and mysteries long unsolved. Immediately gripping, consistently surprising, this is a novel that will be read long into the night.
