Fatal attraction, primal fear, survival in the forest: From the author of the Printz Honor Book STOLEN, the highly anticipated thriller about deadly games played in the dark.
Ashlee Parker is dead, and Emily Shepherd's dad is accused of the crime. A former soldier suffering from PTSD, he emerges from the woods carrying the girl's broken body. "Gone," he says, then retreats into silence.
What really happened that wild night? Emily knows in her bones that her father is innocent -- isn't he? Before he's convicted, she's got to find out the truth. Does Damon Hilary, Ashlee's charismatic boyfriend, have the answers? Or is he only playing games with her -- the kinds of games that can kill?

From the Author:
"Much like the activity of walking through dark, unfamiliar woodland, this book has been 'felt out' as I went along. All I knew at the beginning was that I wanted to write about a wood, and I wanted the story to be dark - the rest has been tentatively discovered, by torchlight, often hiding behind my hands and crawling forward on my knees. It's a story about making the darkness visible - those dark places inside of us and out in the world too." -Lucy Christopher
