A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND ONE OF THE TOP 10 NEW YORK TIMES BEST THRILLERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR

When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide

"Extraordinary . . . Reminds me of Donna Tartt's 1992 debut, The Secret History . . . I was so thoroughly submerged in a rich fictional world, that for hours I barely came up for air." --Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air, NPR

"This expertly paced thriller ...has the kineticism of a well-crafted miniseries." --The New Yorker

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn't just any thirteen-year-old: she's the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region's residents. And this isn't the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara's older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.

As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore's multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore's most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
