Twenty-three years ago, eight-year-old Ethan Miller vanished without a trace. No body was ever found. No suspect was ever charged. And for his older brother, Detective Darren Miller, the search never truly ended. Now a routine construction project uncovers the remains of a missing girl buried along the banks of a forgotten river. What begins as a cold homicide investigation quickly spirals into something far more disturbing when Darren discovers the girl's death may be connected to a string of unsolved disappearances stretching back decades. As more graves are uncovered, Darren and his partner race to identify a predator who has spent years hiding in plain sight. But with each victim they uncover, Darren is forced to confront the possibility he has spent his entire life chasing the same monster. A monster who may know exactly what happened to his brother. Dark, atmospheric, and relentlessly suspenseful, The Garden of Thorns is a gripping psychological thriller about loss, obsession, and the terrible secrets that refuse to stay buried. Because some children are never found. But the truth never stays hidden.
