From the author of Good Neighbours, described by Gillian Flynn as ¡®wildly entertaining¡¯. An absorbing and astute satirical thriller about a family¡¯s odyssey into an exclusive enclave for the wealthy that might not be as ideal as it seems.

As the outside world literally falls apart, Linda and Russell Farmer-Bowen and their teenage twins are offered the chance to relocate to Plymouth Valley, a walled-off company town with clean air, pantries that never go empty, and blue-ribbon schools. The family jumps at the opportunity. They¡¯d be crazy not to take it. This might be their last chance at survival.

But fitting in takes work. And the strange residents fervently adhere to a group of customs and beliefs called Hollow... but what exactly is Hollow? Finally, thanks to Linda¡¯s medical skills they begin to find acceptance, and everything seems fine. Sure, Russell starts hyperventilating through a paper bag in the middle of the night, and the kids have drifted like bridgeless islands, but at least they¡¯ll survive. But something isn¡¯t right. The more Linda learns, the more frightened she becomes. Should the Farmer-Bowens be fighting to stay, or fighting to get out?
