Book Synopsis

'Intense, insightful and impossible to put down' CAZ FREAR

When you go looking for a new start, make sure you don't find a nightmare instead. 


The Kane family, Lorcan, Naiyana and their young son, relocate from Perth to Kallayee, an abandoned mining town in the Great Victoria Desert to start over again, free from their chequered past. 
 
The town seems like the perfect getaway: Peaceful. Quiet. Remote. Somewhere they won’t be found.  
 
But life in Kallayee isn’t quite as straightforward as they hope. There are noises in the earth, mysterious shadows and tracks in the dust, as if the town is coming back to life. 
 
But the family won’t leave. No one can talk sense into them.
 
And now, no one can talk to them at all.
 
They’ve simply vanished. 
 
Now it's up to Detective

Trade Review
‘Intense, insightful and impossible to put down, VANISHED is a gripping tale of greed and betrayal, burning with tension under a harsh Australian sun. James Delargy perfectly captures the claustrophobia of small-town life in this well-researched, multi-layered and hugely satisfying novel. Such a bold portrayal of the lengths desperate people will go to survive’ -- Caz Frear
