From Christian White comes a gripping and unsettling Australian thriller that peels back the façade of suburban life to reveal the darkness beneath.

In the summer of 1989, a teenage girl goes missing from a quiet suburb—shocking a community where nothing like this is supposed to happen.

As rumours begin to spread—including whispers of satanic rituals—fear quickly takes hold. Schoolteacher Tom Witter becomes convinced he knows what happened, and when the police fail to act, he takes matters into his own hands.

With the help of the girl’s father and a local neighbourhood watch group, Tom dives deeper into the mystery—but the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous things become.

Because beneath the surface of this seemingly ordinary community lie secrets, guilt, and buried tensions that threaten to tear everything apart.

Dark, tense, and thought-provoking, Wild Place explores fear, mob mentality, and the unsettling question: how far will people go when they believe they’re right?
