John Corey Whaleys debutroman ’Where Things Come Back’ handler om den 17-årige dreng Cullen Witter, som har afsluttet sit næstsidste år I High School og er nu klar til sommerferien. Men det hele tager en meget drastisk vending, da hans lillebror, Gabriel, pludselig forsvinder. Samtidig følger man en sidehistorie om hvordan ens religiøse overbevisning kan påvirke andre menneskers syn på tilværelsen.

Uddrag af ’Where Things Come Back’
On the fourth week after my brother had gone missing, there was still no sign of him to be found. During that same week, there was still not one single picture of that damn woodpecker. Yet my town was overrun with more people than it could manage.
Every bed-and-breakfast was full for the first time in nearly a decade and the Lily Motel changed its name to the Lazarus Motel, which made me angry as I passed it one particular afternoon on my way to work.
