LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA INTERNATIONAL DAGGER 2018 Antoine is twelve
years old. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mother in
Beauval, a small, backwater town surrounded by forests, where
everyone knows everyone's business, and nothing much ever happens.
But in the last days of 1999, a series of events unfolds,
culminating in the shocking vanishing without trace of a young
child. The adults of the town are at a loss to explain the
disappearance, but for Antoine, it all begins with the violent
death of his neighbour's dog. From that one brutal act, his fate
and the fate of his neighbour's six year old son are bound forever.
In the years following Remi's disappearance, Antoine wrestles with
the role his actions played. As a seemingly inescapable net begins
to tighten, breaking free from the suffocating environs of Beauval
becomes a gnawing obsession. But how far does he have to run, and
how long will it take before his past catches up with him again?
