The God of the Woods

When the 13-year-old daughter, Barbara, of the wealthy Van Laar family vanishes from their summer camp, the disappearance immediately draws intense public attention. This tragedy is tragically familiar, as their young son, Bear, also vanished from the same wilderness fourteen years earlier without a trace. The authorities, and the public, are suspicious of the cold, rich family who own the camp.

The book is an immersive mystery that forces readers to question whether the disappearance is a horrific double tragedy or a carefully concealed crime. The narrative plunges into the family’s complex history and the secrets held within the secluded woods, creating a gripping, character-driven thriller that builds tension relentlessly. (130 words)
