Gone

This thriller, written by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner of Alone and The Killing Hour, quickly shifts from devastating to heartstopping...

How far would you go to bring someone back when they disappear without a trace?

An abandoned automobile with the engine running and a purse on the driver's seat on a remote stretch of Oregon highway is the start of the worst nightmare for former FBI profiler Pierce Quincy. Moreover, his divorced wife Rainie Conner vanished, leaving no trace of her whereabouts.

Has Rainie's tumultuous history finally caught up with one of the ghosts? Is it conceivable that Rainie took too personally the mistreatment of a very disturbed youngster or that one of the cases they had been working on—a particularly brutal double homicide—was the cause of her disappearance? In addition to fighting the local authorities and the passage of time, Pierce and his daughter, FBI agent Kimberly Quincy, are also feverishly looking for answers to all the questions he has been scared to ask.

The events of that evening are known to one individual. Taking on the identity of a murderer apprehended eighty years before, he has already reached out to the media. His demands are unambiguous: he seeks fame, fortune, and power. And Rainie will be gone forever if he doesn't get his way.

No matter how much you love someone, it may not always be enough.

Pierce jumps headfirst into the most intense chase of his life as the clock ticks down to a horrifying deadline. He searches for a murderer, a deadly truth, and the woman of his life, who could be gone forever.
