Missing Persons
About this ebook
Could it happen to you? Severn Gamble’s wife walks into the Justice Building of a major Northwestern city and never comes out. (“Margot!”) No one has seen her. (“Margot!”) She has disappeared. (“Margot!”) And the nightmare begins.
Gamble starts to hunt for her, joined by two police officers, Johnny Boon, case-hardened, cynical, and with a wife who’s just walked out on him; and Tally Wickham, young, pretty, smartass, and as compatible with Boon as oil and water. Together and separately, the three of them undertake a search for Margot Gamble, a search that soon becomes obsessional, as others begin disappearing too, beginning with a child.…
Never faltering, thick with vivid characterization and building to one of the most terrifying climaxes in years.
