Read an excerpt
Thia's scream tears through the clearing, startling the birds and making them flutter frightened from the trees. The sound is not human; it is shrill and heartbreaking, the kind of scream that turns your stomach inside out and makes your ears burn. She should have waited until they returned to the camp. She had been told to wait. But Thia insisted. Just half an hour and three beers after they had slipped away secretly from the camp to spend some time alone, she said she couldn't hold it any longer: "Don't look at me like that, it's your fault for bringing so many beers. Yell if you see someone coming..." Laughing, she had moved a few steps away, making sure to stand in a spot where Oli could only see the sand-stained tips of her white sneakers, while a thin wet line was already running on the dusty ground. The scream grows louder.
