All The Colours Of The Dark

Chris Whitaker

There is a moment when childhood ends.  For Joseph 'Patch' Macauley and Saint Brown, it comes late one summer as Patch is abducted from their hometown. Devastated, Saint devotes her days to finding her best friend.  Held in total darkness, Patch is hopeless and alone - until he feels a hand in his. Though he never sees the girl, they fall in love. When he escapes, he's left with only her voice and name - and promises to spend the rest of his life searching for her.  As Saint's heart breaks for the boy she lost - and the man he becomes - she will shadow his journey, to uncover the truth behind who took him.  Over a lifetime driven by obsession, Patch and Saint must sacrifice everything for redemption, justice, and, ultimately, love - even if that means losing each other forever...

“This book hits like a sledgehammer. Equal parts harrowing and triumphant, [it’s] a haunting story of America, alternating between its twin strands of violence and love. I couldn’t put it down. An absolutely must-read novel.”
— Gillian Flynn
