Publisher's description:

The children of Innertown exist in a state of suspended terror. Every year or so, a boy from their school disappears, vanishing into the wasteland of the old chemical plant. Nobody knows where these boys go, or whether they are alive or dead. Without evidence the authorities claim they are runaways. The town policeman, Morrison knows otherwise.
