A chilling thriller from the award-winning and bestselling author of Australian noir\, Shelley Burr. Lane Holland’s crime-solving career ended the day he went to prison. With his parole hearing approaching\, he faces the grim reality that an ex-con can never work as a private eye. Yet one unsolved case continues to haunt him: the disappearance of Matilda Carver two decades ago. Never one to follow the rules\, Lane finds a lead – a mysterious farm community led by the enigmatic Samuel Karpathy. His farm attracts lost souls. People who want a more meaningful life. People who are hiding from their pasts. People with nowhere else to go. But those who go to the farm seem to vanish without a trace. Is it a commune? Is it a cult? Is it something even more dangerous? Lane goes undercover at the farm to find its dark secret – but could he too find himself intoxicated by the prospect of a new life on the land? Inspired by a real-life criminal case\, Vanish is a nail-biting novel of suspense by the Number One-selling author of Wake and Ripper.

A chilling thriller from the award-winning and bestselling author of Australian noir\, Shelley Burr. Lane Holland’s crime-solving career ended the day he went to prison. With his parole hearing approaching\, he faces the grim reality that an ex-con can never work as a private eye. Yet one unsolved case continues to haunt him: the disappearance of Matilda Carver two decades ago. Never one to follow the rules\, Lane finds a lead – a mysterious farm community led by the enigmatic Samuel Karpathy. His farm attracts lost souls. People who want a more meaningful life. People who are hiding from their pasts. People with nowhere else to go. But those who go to the farm seem to vanish without a trace. Is it a commune? Is it a cult? Is it something even more dangerous? Lane goes undercover at the farm to find its dark secret – but could he too find himself intoxicated by the prospect of a new life on the land? Inspired by a real-life criminal case\, Vanish is a nail-biting novel of suspense by the Number One-selling author of Wake and Ripper.

A chilling thriller from the award-winning and bestselling author of Australian noir\, Shelley Burr. Lane Holland’s crime-solving career ended the day he went to prison. With his parole hearing approaching\, he faces the grim reality that an ex-con can never work as a private eye. Yet one unsolved case continues to haunt him: the disappearance of Matilda Carver two decades ago. Never one to follow the rules\, Lane finds a lead – a mysterious farm community led by the enigmatic Samuel Karpathy. His farm attracts lost souls. People who want a more meaningful life. People who are hiding from their pasts. People with nowhere else to go. But those who go to the farm seem to vanish without a trace. Is it a commune? Is it a cult? Is it something even more dangerous? Lane goes undercover at the farm to find its dark secret – but could he too find himself intoxicated by the prospect of a new life on the land? Inspired by a real-life criminal case\, Vanish is a nail-biting novel of suspense by the Number One-selling author of Wake and Ripper.
