The dead of summer

Anita's mother has just died, the family has moved to a new town and the long school holidays are about to start. Kyle lives across the road from Anita. He says the area between the houses and the river is littered with hidden, disused mines; a perfect playground. But what they don't know is that these mines will form the scene of the most unsettling crime this community has ever known. This summer everything will change. Suggested level: secondary.
