The jungle watches. The dead remember. Rainforest by Michelle Paver is a haunting psychological thriller that pulls listeners deep into the shadowed world of the virgin rainforest, where secrets linger and the past refuses to stay buried.
What begins as a fresh start for Englishman Simon Corbett soon unravels. Drawn into the oppressive heat and haunted silence of the jungle, he discovers that the rainforest is no paradise. As the line between the living and the dead begins to blur, escape becomes impossible.
