WILD THINGS

St Anton's university college is a cradle for privileged young men and women. With its Elysian lush green lawns and buildings of golden sandstone it seems like a place where nothing bad could ever happen. One weekend members of the college cricket team go to the mountains for a wild weekend away. things spiral rapidly out of control and a young Malaysian student they dragged along with them as part of a cruel prank goes missing. When the boy is found by some bushwalkers on a rock ledge barely clinging to life most people think it's because of a fall but the St Anton's men know better. the stress of keeping their collective secret however becomes harder and harder to bear and even the heavy wrought-iron fences of the college can't keep out reality... Dark dangerous bloody and visceral this is a story of power prestige and the pack mentality that forms the underbelly of campus life at a prestigious university. With overtones of the Secret History meets Brett Easton Ellis this is the debut of a thrilling new Australian writer.
