While the Forest Burns

A paranormal mystery from New York Times-bestselling Xan Kaur, perfect for fans of Stranger Things, X-Files and Twin Peaks. 'You deserve to know the truth of things.' The final, cryptic words of Archie's beloved neighbour, Jean, are followed by two mysterious black-clad men landing on her doorstep. Soon, Archie follows a trail of clues to a remote Florida forest, seeking answers. Cameron's father was never the same after experiencing the horrors of war. Now, his secrets are buried with him - until two shadowed men arrive, claiming his father's body belongs to the government. Running from his grief and, hopefully, toward truth, Cameron finds himself in the wilderness too. Soon, strange reports come trickling in: a dead hiker, unexplained lights deep in the trees, radios crackling with interference. Archie and Cameron are drawn together by a connection that feels too intense to be coincidence, communicating across radio waves and investigating a mystery beneath the pines. As they unravel a long-buried government project, they'll be forced to make a choice that could cost one of them everything.
