An acclaimed, award-winning thriller, published and translated around the world, now freely available on Wattpad. Paul Wood is a modern vagabond, a man who chooses to leave the comforts of San Francisco to spend months backpacking through some of the world's most challenging terrain. While hiking in the Himalayas, Paul gets more of a rush than he bargained for when he finds the body of a murdered hiker - mutilated in a way he has witnessed once before, in Africa, years ago and thousands of miles away. The police in Nepal, anxious to quell a scandal, close the case and declare the victim a suicide. Only Paul is left to search for answers. He reaches out to his farflung tribe of fellow backpackers for help, and his discoveries lead him to a terrible conclusion: a killer is stalking the international backpacker trail, preying on victims in wild places far beyond the reach of any authorities. A killer whom Paul may already know. Finding the murderer becomes an obsession that leads Paul from Himalayan peaks, through the jungles of Indonesia, across the bleak Sahara desert -- and into some of the darkest places imaginable... Dark Places won the 2005 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Reviews "You're hooked ... the characters are delightfully delineated ... beautifully controlled ... Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in ... A pacy thriller for the 21st century." - The Times "Anyone would enjoy Evans' clever, relentlessly absorbing debut thriller that becomes a lot more than just another serial-killer mystery." - The Ottawa Citizen "In this haunting suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure across five continents ... (a) spooky, inventive tale." - Publishers Weekly

"Underneath the Triple Tree there is a man who waits for me and should I go or should I stay my fate's the same either way."

The chained man chuckled eerily in the dimly lit room full of blades, whips, ropes, and other torture devices. His golden eyes flashed disdainfully at his filthy and contaminated blood splattered all over himself and around him. "Do you want revenge?" "The ability to overcome all of your restraints?" "And the power to destroy--" He clenched the silver rosary that scorched ruthlessly into his skin. His alluring smirk revealed the sharp fangs hidden beneath his thin chapped and bloodied lips, "What else do I have to lose?" . . . *This story is BL meaning it has boy x boy with a man sticking his d*ck in another man's a$$!

What lengths would you go to in order to achieve your dreams? Spencer has always seen the world through numbers. While they watch those in negative numbers strive for positives and those in the positives risk everything to stay in the positives, they long for the simplest of numbers: Zero. At Zero, they will experience true tranquility and feel at peace with themself. To help reach as close to Zero as possible, Spencer writes books, novelettes, poetry and more. By sharing their experiences as an agender person living with a mother who doesn't understand them (nor try to), they hope to inspire others and assure them they are not alone. When Spencer is given the opportunity to work with a publisher and publish their own book, they are determined to write a romance book proposal that no one will want to turn down. The only problem: none of their ideas are authentic enough. Since Spencer never felt the need to date before, their writing teacher encourages them to pursue romance to help inspire their book. While Spencer is determined to not date anyone, they are willing to give it a try for the sake of their writing. And when they find out their cute classmate seems to be interested in them, they decide to see where their blossoming relationship will go. After all, they're willing to do anything to reach Zero.

This story is a puzzle. A hard puzzle. It is meant to be read more than once. The first read, you should have more questions than answers. All your theories will be wrong (though please post them in the comments - I will laugh seeing just how wrong they are). The second read, you will see the story for what it truly is - a masterpiece in web weaving and deception. Every detail matters. Every word matters. Every unsaid word matters. If you are confused, good. ************************************ After one of Redbook's richest and most entitled students is found dead just one week before the school year starts, tensions run high. When rumors surface that his death may not have been accidental, paranoia runs amok and dangerous secrets are revealed.
