The Missing - Paperback

by Jim Sabin (Author)

Some secrets are better left buried...

When reporter Dave Kendrick's mother dies, he's convinced it wasn't an accident. His investigation plunges him and those he is starting to love into extreme danger.

The town of Lynwood takes pride in its checkered history. Civil War reenactments, hauntings, and a Halloween spectacular are all fodder for townies and tourists alike. But the past has a long arm, and after Dave's mother dies, he knows something is very wrong. Why did she need to speak with him so urgently just before the fatal accident? Is her house haunted? And can he retrace her steps to discover what she was working on right before she died?

Dave is wrought with grief and guilt as his life is turned upside down, but solace comes when he reunites with an old crush. Then, when townspeople begin to vanish, Dave races to figure out how this latest mystery is related to his mother's death and his father's disappearance years before.

The police zero in on him as a prime suspect, and he's not sure who is more sinister: them or something unseen. His only chance of survival is to unravel the horrors before he becomes the next one missing.
