In Portugal's national park, dark forests close in from all sides and only a few campers brave the loneliness. It's easy to get lost out here, but when solo traveller Kier Templer goes missing, there are signs she was in danger before she even left her home in Devon.
Detective Elin Warner is supposed to be off duty, until she discovers a troubling clue Kier left behind and becomes determined to track her down. But when the campsite closes ranks against Elin's questions, the isolation starts to turn sinister . . .

An atmospheric chiller with shocking twistsThe Wilds is a superb Elin Warner thriller. Intelligent, twisty, stylish and incredibly suspenseful. Had a genuine feel of Hitchcockian tension and dread - brilliant on gaslighting, trauma and coercive control - even in a beautiful Portuguese setting. RivetingGrips from page one with its serpentine plot, powerful sense of place and mood of real menace. The Wilds is Sarah Pearse's best yetHer usual beguiling combo of immersive plot and smart dialogue . . . But it's the powerful sense of place which really sets this apart . . . The plotting, which is exceptional, grapples with themes of coercive control and the legacy of childhood trauma. But it's the way Pearse approaches the enduring power that some landscapes have over our emotions which is the standout success of this book - DAILY MAIL
