But the forest took another... In the unforgiving wilderness of New Zealand stands a small cabin, once home to Effie, her three siblings and their survivalist father. But it's been twenty years since Effie disappeared, a violent episode forcing her to leave her home and family behind. Now, a young girl has stumbled into a local store with blood-stained hands, and the town's only policeman can't shake the feeling that she looks strikingly familiar. When her path is tracked to Effie's childhood cabin - now the scene of a double murder - he has no choice but to call the girl who fled twenty years ago. But is Effie ready to come home and confront the truth about her past?Flooded with atmosphere and full of twists, The Vanishing Place is perfect for readers of Lucy Clarke and Sarah Pearse.
