Scorpion Falls

Martin Chatterton

Loner Theo Sumner is a 14-year-old living in the isolated Queensland mining town of Scorpion Falls.
Following the arrival of an unsettling guest at the Iguana Motel, teenagers start disappearing in mysterious circumstances. As Theo looks for answers, he is drawn deeper into the murky underbelly of his hometown and a shocking nightmare encounter with the truth.

This is a more complex book than it first appears, with many twists and turns in the plot. The ending comes as a surprise
