"After his panic subsides, Mart realizes that the woman and child are the only people who can connect him to the girl he's just strangled. He concludes that he must find and dispose of them. So he begins to hunt for them, stalking them, terrifying the inhabitants of the small Australian town in which they live." "As in all of Carlon's subtle psychological thrillers, the climax of this novel is utterly chilling."--BOOK JACKET.
