The Vibe

1975, Missouri. A girl goes missing. A boy sees something he shouldn't. Decades later, the reverberations of that summer are still shattering lives. Chris Whitaker's follow-up to We Begin at the End is a masterwork of interconnected storytelling that spans thirty years and asks how far one act of darkness can reach.
