The Missing by Fleur McDonald

A landscape to die for... The next compelling mystery set in the wild outback town of Kalgoorlie, from the bestselling author of The Prospect “This land is millions of years old and has held secrets that we are able to uncover to this very day, yet the same land seems to have swallowed Max without a trace.” During Missing Persons Week, teenager Max Galbraith disappears after a party at the two-up ring on the outskirts of Kalgoorlie. With hundred-year-old mine shafts hidden in the area, no one can be sure whether he became lost while under the influence of drugs, or if something more sinister has occurred. Lily Carter, a talk show radio host, receives information about Brendan Cook, another Kalgoorlie teenager who vanished in similar circumstances the year before. But the police didn’t launch a full-scale search for Brendan. Why not? Enter Detective Angie Sullivan, new to Kalgoorlie and still learning how the town works. With no clear links between the two cases, and Lily accusing the police of incompetence, the town is tipped into uproar. What secrets are hiding out there in the bush? And can Angie uncover them before any more kids go missing?
