Their youth hostel is surrounded by nothing but tall trees and thick undergrowth. Late at night, Anne is attacked by a hooded figure, and there is another attack the very next night. One of the girls in the group is found strangled in the forest! Totally traumatised, the class cuts the trip short – but the murderer must have fol lowed them home, because he’s already lying in wait for his next victim… Six girls disappear without a trace and return home six days later without any warning – all wearing the same, strange clothes, all with a wound on their hand that has been stitched up and carefully disinfected. And all six are being blackmailed and refuse to talk. A religious fanatic has kept them locked up and tried out the biblical six works of mercy on them: feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, giving shelter to strangers, clothing the naked, caring for the sick and visiting those in prison. Nara (17) is one of the hostages, and she doesn’t talk to anyone after she is released, either; her kidnapper has threatened to harm her brother. But what was the point of the abduction? Why did the man choose her? Gradually, Nara realises her nightmare is far from over: in the days that follow, she observes the |works` being repeated in a much more radical way on refugees and Muslims. What role will she play in all this?
