Publisher Description
'Edgy, gripping and full of menace' Hannah Richell
An abandoned resort seems the perfect place to hide, but is Barren Cape a refuge or a trap?
Former housemates Mac and Erika are homeless.
Well, Erika is fine, she just has to live with her parents until she can find another rental. Mac's situation is much worse – family isn't an option and she's surfing the couches of her increasingly exasperated friends.
Driving around one lonely afternoon, Mac discovers Barren Cape. Once destined to be a luxury escape, now it's just wire fence and gray cement.
It's stark, but quiet. There's no harm in staying a little while…
From the bestselling author of The Rush comes a spine-chilling thriller about what happens when people are pushed to the edge and forced to make unthinkable choices.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
This was a story of twists & turns, the unexpected & fast moving going from each chapter according to the characters. It was a little confusing at times but the momentum just kept going. Excellent suspenseful read.
Profound, insightful, gripping
As a person who also grew up in a Housing Trust house in Adelaide but had a relatively stable home until domestic violence forced my mother and I to leave when I was 16, I can relate to much of this tale. Now with 30yo sons struggling to find rental accommodation, I look back and acknowledge how lucky I was moving and working all around Australia and never having that problem. Good on you Michelle for highlighting this issue.
