Wild Place by Christian White

In 1989, when Tracie Reed goes missing, the people in the neighborhood of Camp Hill wonder what happened to her. One of her high school teachers, Tom Witter, who has a few weeks off over the holidays, takes a particular interest. Tom suspects his teenage next-door neighbor, Sean, who listens to heavy metal music and wears all black clothes, is involved in Tracie's disappearance. Taking place over a week, the book details, mostly through Tom's eyes, the search for Tracie and the aftermath. Another solid story by Christian White. It's too bad his books are no longer being published in the U.S.
