One girl escaped. But the forest took another...

A young girl wanders into the small town of Koraha, her hands stained with blood. She won't speak, but her path is tracked through New Zealand's unforgiving wilderness to a cabin - and the scene of a double murder.

The townsfolk know this cabin; it has a violent history. Twenty years ago, another girl was forced to flee, leaving her siblings and father behind. But now that her family's secrets have led to more victims, Effie has no choice but to return to the bush and face the truth of what happened there... and why she ran.

Flooded with atmosphere and full of twists, The Vanishing Place is perfect for readers of Lucy Clarke, Liz Moore and Chris Whitaker.
