For a 16-year-old, a summer internship working for a private investigator seems like a dream come true --- particularly since the PI is investigating the most shocking crime to hit Bloomington, Indiana, in decades. A local woman has vanished, and the last time anyone saw her, she was in the backseat of a police car driven by a man impersonating an officer. Marshall Miller’s internship puts him at the center of the action, a position he relishes until a terrifying moment that turns public praise for his sharp observations and uncanny memory into accusations of lying and imperiling the case. His detective mentor withdraws, friends and family worry and whisper, and Marshall alone understands that the darkness visiting his town this summer goes far beyond a single crime. Now his task is to explain it --- and himself.

This riotous, raucous and deeply resonant debut novel from “one of the best story writers in the English language today” (Financial Times) follows two outsiders caught in the crosshairs of a small-town revenge kidnapping gone awry.

With his acclaimed and award-winning collections, YOUNG SKINS and HOMESICKNESS, Colin Barrett cemented his reputation as one of contemporary Irish literature’s most daring stylists. Praised by Oprah Daily as “a doyen of the sentence,” and by the Los Angeles Times as a writer of “unique genius,” Barrett now expands his canvas with a debut novel that contains as much grit, plot and linguistic energy as any of his celebrated short stories.

Set against Barrett’s trademark depictions of small town Irish life, WILD HOUSES is the thrillingly told story of two outsiders striving to find themselves as their worlds collapse in chaos and violence.
