Synopsis

Rose and Elmer have created an idyllic sanctuary for themselves and their five daughters in Mexico’s Baja California desert. Out there in the middle of nowhere, blissfully cut off from the burdens of modern society, they’re free to raise their beautiful family…and preserve its secret.And they’re never giving it up.Then a young hiker named Rick comes looking for a place to stay. It’s just for the night, he says—but long enough for Rose and Elmer to fear they’ve made a horrible mistake. As the stranger grows more intrusive and more suspicious, the couple know they must do what they can to protect themselves. What they don’t know is that Rick has a secret, too. Soon, home and family will prove to be as cold and dark as the desert nights. And even with so many places to run, there’s still no escape from the past that binds them.

Goodreads review by Aitor

Mi segundo Paul Pen de octubre no ha podido ser mejor. Me ha encantado. Porque con tan solo dos elementos (una familia que vive apartada de la sociedad en un desierto mexicano y un excursionista) el autor consigue que entremos en la historia y que ya no deseemos salir hasta conocer qué está pasando.......more

Goodreads review by Basia

Most fervently recommended! I remember reading Light of the Fireflies, a novel by the same author. There was something so special about the book. It was creepy, and full of so many wrong-feeling parts ... ideas, ones which I knew I should detest, yet was led to experience in totally unexpected ways.......more
