Wayward

The nail-bitingly suspenseful second book in the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy, from the bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade. Its the perfect town . . . as long as you dont try to leave. Nestled amid picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town of Wayward Pines is a modern-day Eden at least at first glance. Except that within its fences, the residents are told where to work, how to live, and who to marry. None of them know how they got here. Some believe they are dead. Others think theyre trapped in an unfathomable experiment. Everyone secretly dreams of leaving, but those who dare face a terrifying surprise. As sheriff, Ethan Burke is tasked with enforcing the towns laws, and hes one of the few entrusted with the truth even though, for all his knowledge, hes as much a prisoner of Wayward Pines as anyone else. But when a murder investigation draws him deeper into the towns inner workings, Ethan learns that its past is darker than even he suspected and finds himself faced with an impossible choice. The second novel in Blake Crouchs blockbuster series, Wayward delves deeper into the irresistible mysteries and horrors of this perfect little town, even as it asks what it means to live with secrets and what price well pay for the truth.
