  Every family has secrets. But secrets can be a real killer.
  
  Bestselling author Andrew Pyper returns with his gripping new novel THE HOMECOMING, perfect for fans of Twin Peaks and Defender.
  
  When their eccentric, estranged father dies, siblings Aaron, Bridge and Franny are shocked to discover just how wealthy he was. But in order to claim their inheritance, they and their mother must agree to a strange request in his will: the four must spend a month in an enormous but isolated cabin, deep in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, with no contact with the outside world. No phones, no computers, no friends.
  
  Despite their concerns, they agree.
  
  But it's not long before they find themselves questioning everything they've ever believed about their father - and themselves. What was their father's purpose in isolating them so thoroughly? Why do they all seem to have faint memories of the cabin, despite never having been there before? And what is it that seems to be calling to them from the dark heart of the woods?
  
  Before the month is through, these four people will discover just how deadly secrets can be.
  
  *** PRAISE for ANDREW PYPER ***
  
  'Pyper's style flips back and forth from gallows humour to Grand Guignol horror...you'll want to keep all the lights on as you read this one' Independent on Sunday on Lost Girls
  
  With impressive skill and confidence...Pyper has created an intricate puzzle, playing with elements of the courtroom drama, the detective story and country Gothic...As a debut novel, Lost Girls is remarkable and compelling. But more than that, it is a novel that goes some way towards reinventing the literary ghost story as a modern-day going concern The Times on Lost Girls
  
  Sentence by sentence there's little to fault: the moody unease of small-town Canada is maintained and a creeping horror revealed. Guardian on Lost Girls
  
  A best-seller in the author's native Canada...it's easy to see why...extremely compelling Sunday Telegraph on Lost Girls
  
  This is an excellently written novel, brilliant in its evocation of an atmosphere which, at first mildly sinister, progressively thickens and darkens Evening Standard on Lost Girls
