Adam and his mates live in the country. They get up to all the usual mischief – like breaking the windows in the deserted chicken farm next door with slingshots and hooning through the nearby bush and sand dunes in vehicles made from bits of trucks and other cars – but on one such outing, they discover a something sinister in a well. Does this have anything to do with Lionel, the missing chicken farmer – or suspicious fires and shootings that have occurred in their district? A well-written great read for older boys.p.108 –“We’re lost…” to end of chapter p.112
