Barren Cape

'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.
