'I was totally gripped by this sharp, layered novel' Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain 'A brilliant, riveting fox-trap – an epic mystery' Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace 'A rare gem, an immersive and enthralling literary thriller' Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––- From the author of LONG BRIGHT RIVER, a Barack Obama Pick and a New York Times bestseller, comes a once-in-a-generation story; a novel you'll never forget. Some said it was tragic, what happened to the Van Laars. Some said the Van Laars deserved it. That they never even thanked the searchers who stayed out for five nights in the freezing forest trying to help find their missing son. Some said there was a reason it took the family so long to call for help. That they knew what happened to the boy. Now, fifteen years later, the daughter the family had in their grief has gone missing in the same wilderness as her brother. Some say the two disappearances aren't connected. Some say they are.
