Book Synopsis

A gripping, enigmatic collection of linked short stories about the reverberations of a serial killer's crimes in the lives of everyday people.

In the small town of Barrow, Australia, people go about their ordinary lives. They drive to work through the dense state forest. They raise their families. They flirt and yearn. They lie and confess. Some of them leave home. Some of them return.

His twelve victims-women, men, mostly young-are long gone, but their deaths are felt, beyond the forest where they were buried, beyond this country, beyond even this time.

In the future, in the hands of journalists and podcast hosts and television actors whose live
