When ten-year-old Rainey Teague disappears on his way home from school in idyllic Niceville, Detective Nick Kavanaugh traces the boy to his last sighting - staring into the window of old pawn shop in town. CCTV shows Rainey there one minute and then gone the next. In the days that follow, any hope Rainey's family has of finding him alive starts to fade but then Rainey is found - alive but in a coma, and there's no telling when, or if, he'll ever wake up...

One year on, Kavanagh is still haunted by the case. And now another member of the town - this time an elderly woman - has been reported missing. It's as though she vanished into thin air. Once again, Kavanagh's on the case and, as he starts to dig back through the town's history, he can't help but notice that Niceville has a much higher than average number of stranger abductions...

Critic reviews

A compelling work that grabs your attention from page one
Reminds me of Peter Straub at his finest – sends a shiver down the spine
Terrific dialogue and wild story make this a great read
An unfolding tale about every kind of wickedness... Somehow it manages to get tighter, nastier, and more delightful as it rolls toward its lovely and completely black-hearted final pages
All stars

The story is interesting but I think I need the book. The narrator has struggled to keep my attention. I'm about half way through and I'm giving up. The story is good, but the narrator is just a bit weak. Every character has the same voice, and she struggles to bring them to life. Shame really.
