Publisher's Synopsis
"Williams expertly builds the tension in this multilayered story." BOOKLIST Australia 1969: Two boys take a wrong turn on the way home and are lost in the wild and hostile country around the little town of Angel Rock. Ten days later, only one of them returns. The mystery of the young boy's disappearance is just one of many secrets in Angel Rock; secrets which live as much within the hauntingly beautiful landscape as within the community itself. Soon after, the body of a sixteen-year-old girl from the town is found far away in Sydney. The policeman assigned to her case follows the trail back to Angel Rock, searching not only for a meaning in this tragic death, but also for answers to his own troubled life.
