Suspenseful and richly atmospheric, June Hur's The Forest of Stolen Girls is a haunting historical mystery sure to keep readers guessing until the last page.

1426, Joseon (Korea). Hwani's family has never been the same since she and her younger sister went missing and were later found unconscious in the forest near a gruesome crime scene. The only thing they remember: a man in a painted-white mask.

To escape the haunting memories of this incident, the family flees their hometown. Years later, Detective Min--Hwani's father--learns that thirteen girls have recently disappeared under similar circumstances, and so he returns to their hometown to investigate, only to vanish as well.

Determined to find her father and solve the case that tore their family apart, Hwani returns home to pick up the trail. As she digs into the secrets of the small village--and reconnects with her now estranged sister--Hwani comes to realize that the answer could lie within her own buried memories of what happened in the forest all those years ago.
