When high school buddies Larry Drayfus and Dan Cotwell take a
backpacking trip into the Mogollon Mountains, nobody is concerned when
they don't come home exactly on time. Dan is a natural outdoorsman, and
he knows the mountains well. Larry is smart and resourceful. But soon
the boys' families must accept the unthinkable, as little sign of them
can be found in the hills.
For Larry's sister - and Dan's girlfriend - Joan, grief soon turns to
mystery when some of her brother's old acquaintances start calling with
strange and threatening messages. In They Never Came Home, the truth
of Larry and Dan's disappearance is far more shocking than any of their
loved ones can anticipate.
