Tall Oaks, Belletristik von Chris Whitaker

A missing child. A small town. Everyone is eager to help. Everyone is a suspect. Tall Oaks is an idyllic place to live, until the disappearance of three-year-old Harry throws the tight-knit community into crisis. Desperate mother Jess is simultaneously leading the search and battling her own grief and self-destructive behaviour. Teenage Manny's absent father has left him with strange ideas of how to make his mark. Photographer Jerry is determined to break away from his controlling mother, once and for all. And, investigating them all, a police chief with a hidden obsession of his own. This is a town where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide. And as the investigation draws towards a climax, prepare for a devastating final twist . . .
