In the summer of 1989, a local teen goes missing from the idyllic suburb of Camp Hill in Australia. As rumours of Satanic rituals swirl, schoolteacher Tom Witter becomes convinced he holds the key to the disappearance. When the police won't listen, he takes matters into his own hands with the help of the missing girl's father and a local neighbourhood watch group. But as dark secrets are revealed and consequences to past actions are faced, Tom learns that the only way out of the darkness is to walk deeper into it. Wild Place peels back the layers of suburbia, exposing what's hidden underneath - guilt, desperation, violence - and attempts to answer the question: Why do good people do bad things? From the international bestseller Christian White, Wild Place is a white-knuckle descent into a street near you.

I devoured this in a day.
I always pick the twist but not in this one!
A real page turner.
You seriously don't know what's coming next. The twists in this book are frequent, and just brilliant. They come on so subtly sometimes, and other times BAM, whiplash.
There are aspects that almost make this non-fiction, in how genuinely [expletive] men are. I don't think it's a spoiler, but a fact of the world we live in.
But, this book is amazing, and the ending let's the imagination run wild, and, maybe, there is closure in your imagination...
