What to expect

'The world has teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted. Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine years old. Lost in the woods.'

Trisha has only veered a little way off the trail. But in her panic to get back to the path, Trisha takes a turning that leads into the tangled undergrowth. Deeper and deeper in the terrifying woods.

At first it's just the bugs, midges and mosquitoes. Then comes the hunger. For comfort she tunes her Walkman into broadcasts of the Red Sox baseball games and the performances of her hero Tom Gordon.

As darkness begins to fall, Trisha realises that she is not alone. There's something else in the woods - watching. Waiting . . .

(p) 1999 Simon & Schuster

Critics Review

A compelling battle for survival that you dare not put down

DAILY MAIL

Moving, gripping. One of his best . . . A literary home run

MIRROR

Vintage King . . . the quality of the prose is consistently impressive and his trump card is his ability to arouse empathy for the plight of his young heroine
