    Thirteen-year-old Johnny Merrimon once had a perfect life, filled with love and a close bond with his twin sister, Alyssa. Everything changed when Alyssa vanished from a lonely street, leaving Johnny isolated and disillusioned, as those around him refuse to believe she is still alive. Despite the skepticism, Johnny is determined to find her, driven by an inexplicable confidence in her survival. His quest leads him into the dark underbelly of his hometown, where he faces danger and despair. Detective Clyde Hunt, who has also been searching for Alyssa, tries to protect Johnny but finds himself compelled to intervene when Johnny uncovers a risky lead. As a second child goes missing, Johnny, undeterred by threats and pleas from his mother, teams up with his last friend to venture into the wilderness. Their journey takes them to a forgotten place steeped in violence, where they encounter a giant man—an escaped convict on his own tragic mission. The revelations they uncover will shatter Johnny's beliefs about his sister's fate and lead them to a profound truth that tests their resilience. Navigating the wilderness between innocence and hard wisdom, the story showcases John Hart's unique narrative power.

    The only writer in history to win consecutive Edgar Awards for Best Novel, New York Times bestselling author John Hart returns to the world of his most beloved novel, The Last ChildBuilding on the world first seen in The Last Child (“A magnificent creation” —The Washington Post), John Hart delivers a stunning vision of a secret world, rarely seen. It’s been ten years since the events that changed Johnny Merrimon’s life and rocked his hometown to the core. Since then, Johnny has fought to maintain his privacy, but books have been written of his exploits; the fascination remains. Living alone on six thousand acres of once-sacred land, Johnny’s only connection to normal life is his old friend, Jack. They’re not boys anymore, but the bonds remain. What they shared. What they lost. But Jack sees danger in the wild places Johnny calls home; he senses darkness and hunger, an intractable intent. Johnny will discuss none of it, but there are the things he knows, the things he can do. A lesser friend might accept such abilities as a gift, but Jack has felt what moves in the swamp: the cold of it, the unspeakable fear.More than an exploration of friendship, persistence, and forgotten power, The Hush leaves all categories behind, and cements Hart's status as a writer of unique power.
