WILD PLACE

In the summer of 1989, a local teen goes missing from the idyllic Australian suburb of Camp Hill. As rumors 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 neighborhood 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? Wild Place is a white- knuckle descent into a street near you.

Based on news stories of satanic cult rumors of the ‘80s and early ‘90s, Wild Place comes on the back of two hugely successful novels each of which sold more than 100,000 copies in Australia and were international bestsellers.
