About the Book

This childhood nightmare never went away - In 1976, four boys walked into a jungle. Only three came back alive. They blamed what happened on a myth, an unseen terror from the bush, but no-one believed them. Almost forty years later, the truth is finally coming out - Journalist, Nate Mason, is one of the survivors. Haunted by memories he doesn't fully understand, he returns to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia to unravel the tragic events of his childhood. Back then, as the son of a diplomat, Nate was part of an elite social circle. Among them was the island's "royal family", the De Villiers, who owned a decaying mansion deep in the jungle, staffed by the descendants of slaves. It was here, during a weekend of whispered childhood secrets and dares, that Nate's innocence was torn apart. But Nate's not the only one obsessed with the demons in his past. Within hours of arriving back on the island, he becomes convinced he's being followed. But even as he realises he's risking his sanity as well as his life, he can't stop himself from searching for the answers he came here to find. Can childhood nightmares haunt you for the rest of your life? How much do you need to believe in a monster for it to become real? The Clearing is a dark and atmospheric psychological thriller, full of intrigue, terror and superstition, which examines our deepest fears of the unknown.
