What to expect

'Shelley Burr does not take prisoners. Bloody loved this book . . . It's crime fiction at its effortless best - beautifully drawn characters, rich relationships, fast and fascinating plot, and twists that make you go "ah"' LAINIE ANDERSON, author of The Death of Dora Black

'A constant unnerving undercurrent bubbling away on every page' DARCY TINDALE, author of Burning Mountain

People go to the isolated Karpathy farm looking for a new life. Is it a commune? Is it a cult? Or something far more dangerous?

Lane Holland's crime-solving career ended the day he went to prison. Yet one unsolved case continues to haunt him: the disappearance of Matilda Carver two decades ago.

Against the odds, Lane finds a lead - a mysterious farm community where Matilda lived briefly, led by the enigmatic Samuel Karpathy. The farm attracts lost souls. People looking for answers. People hiding from their pasts. People who have nowhere else to go.

But some of those who go to the farm seem to vanish without a trace.

Inspired by a real-life criminal case, VANISH is a chilling thriller from award-winning Shelley Burr, the bestselling author of Australian noir.
