Inspired by several true crime stories - including the well-known Elizabeth Fritzl case in Austria, in which a woman was held captive, assaulted, and raped by her father for 24 years, as well as the now-infamous Ariel Castro case in Cleveland - In the Dark may seem like it takes readers down a familiar road, but its final destination is anything but expected. Hunter's new book is a gripping suspense novel about misguided assumptions and secrets hidden in plain sight. And so begins Cara Hunter's latest novel, In the Dark. Neighbors are unable to believe something so horrific could happen so close to home without anyone suspecting a thing. The owner of the house and its only resident - beside the two apparent prisoners, that is - is an elderly man with dementia who insists he has never seen the woman or the boy before. During a routine home renovation of a house on Frampton Road, a quiet residential street in a suburban neighborhood just an hour outside of London, builders have made a shocking discovery: On the other side of a wall shared with a neighboring home, a young woman and a small child are locked in a basement, barely alive.
