Leave No Trace - Mindy Mejia

nDark and atmospheric, with palpably vivid details and complex characters harboring plenty of secrets (Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of The Marriage Lie), this riveting and suspenseful thriller--by the author of the critically acclaimed Everything You Want Me to Be--follows the mysterious disappearance of a boy and his stunning return ten years later. nThere is a place in Minnesota with hundreds of miles of glacial lakes and untouched forests called the Boundary Waters. Ten years ago, a man and his son trekked into this wilderness and never returned.

n nSearch teams found their campsite ravaged by what looked like a bear. They were presumed dead until a decade later...the son reappears. Discovered while ransacking an outfitter store, he is violent and uncommunicative and is sent to a psychiatric facility.

Maya Stark, the assistant language therapist, is charged with making a connection with the high-profile patient. No matter how hard she tries, he refuses to answer questions about his father or the last ten years of his life. n nBut Maya, who was abandoned by her own mother, has secrets, too.

And as she's drawn closer to this enigmatic boy who is no longer a boy, she'll risk everything to reunite him with his father who has disappeared from the known world. n nWith breathless pacing and edge-of-your-seat twists and turns, Leave No Trace is as thrilling as whitewater rapids and as dark as the Minnesotan wilderness itself (Amy Gentry, internationally bestselling author of Good as Gone).n
