520    "The New York Times bestselling author of The Wicked Deep 
       weaves a richly atmospheric adult debut following three 
       residents of a secluded, seemingly peaceful commune as 
       they investigate the disappearances of two outsiders. 
       Travis Wren has an unusual talent for locating missing 
       people. Hired by families as a last resort, he requires 
       only a single object to find the person who has vanished. 
       When he takes on the case of Maggie St. James-a well-known
       author of dark, macabre children's books-he's led to a 
       place many believed to be only a legend. Called Pastoral, 
       this reclusive community was founded in the 1970s by like-
       minded people searching for a simpler way of life. By all 
       accounts, the commune shouldn't exist anymore and soon 
       after Travis stumbles upon it...he disappears. Just like 
       Maggie St. James. Years later, Theo, a lifelong member of 
       Pastoral, discovers Travis's abandoned truck beyond the 
       border of the community. No one is allowed in or out, not 
       when there's a risk of bringing a disease-rot-into 
       Pastoral. Unraveling the mystery of what happened reveals 
       secrets that Theo, his wife, Calla, and her sister, Bee, 
       keep from one another. Secrets that prove their perfect, 
       isolated world isn't as safe as they believed-and that 
       darkness takes many forms. Hauntingly beautiful, hypnotic,
       and bewitching, A History of Wild Places is a story about 
       fairy tales, our fear of the dark, and losing yourself 
       within the wilderness of your mind"--|cProvided by
