Thriller Crime

People go to the isolated Karpathy farm seeking a new life ‑ but not everything is as it seems. Is it a commune? A cult? Or something far more insidious?

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. And people who have nowhere else to go.

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