520    "Up on the highway, the only evidence that the 
       Chamberlains had ever been there was two smeared tire 
       tracks in the mud leading into an almost undamaged screen 
       of bushes and trees. No other cars passed that way until 
       after dawn. By that time the tracks had been washed away 
       by the heavy rain. After being in New Zealand for only 
       five days, the English Chamberlain family had vanished 
       into thin air--the date was 4 April 1978. In 2010 the 
       remains of the eldest child are discovered in a remote 
       part of the West Coast, showing he lived for four years 
       after the family disappeared. Found alongside him are his 
       father's watch and what turns out to be a tally stick, a 
       piece of scored wood marking items of debt. How had he 
       survived and then died in such a way? Where is the rest of
       the family? And what is the meaning of the tally stick?"--
