Summary

The heart-stopping new thriller in the Ren Bryce series by Alex Barclay, best-selling author of Darkhouse and Killing Ways.

When Special Agent Ren Bryce is called to Tate, Oregon, to investigate the disappearance of 12-year-old Caleb Veir, she finds a town already in mourning.

Two other young boys have died recently, although in very different circumstances. As Ren digs deeper, she discovers that all is not as it seems in the Veir household - and that Tate is a small town with a big secret.

Can Ren uncover the truth before more children are harmed?

Critic reviews

"Ren Bryce becomes a more compelling character with each successive novel...sharply observed." (Declan Hughes, Irish Times)
"A well-up-to-scratch Barclay keeps this small-town tale rattling along at an enjoyably breakneck speed to a most unexpected denouement." (Irish Examiner)
