The Missing

More about the book

"A remote and affluent Maine community, Corpus Christi was untouched by the environmental catastrophe that destroyed the neighbouring blue-collar town of Bedford. But all that will change in a heartbeat...The nightmare is awakened when third-grade schoolteacher Louis Larkin takes the children on a field trip to Bedford. There in the abandoned woods, a small, cruel boy unearths an ancient horror- a contagious plague that transforms its victims into something violent, hungry... and inhuman. The long, dark night is just beginning. And all hope must die as the contagion feeds- for the malevolence will not rest until it had devoured every living soul in Corpus Christi... and beyond."--Provided by publisher.
