Just Another Missing Person

A new, gripping thriller from the author of Wrong Place, Wrong Time, a New York Times bestseller, and Reese's Book Club Pick, in which a missing-person case reveals darker, deeper truths that force a detective to make an impossible moral decision.

Olivia, 22, has been absent for one day and counting. When last seen on CCTV, she was walking down a dead-end alley. and refraining from leaving again.

Detective Julia, who is leading the hunt for Olivia, believes she knows what to anticipate. A family in need, a running clock, and extended periods of time spent apart from her spouse and daughter. However, she is unaware of how personal this case would become.

Because the thief at the center of the disappearance has an unexpected asset. His weapon is a secret rather than a pistol or a knife. It was her worst. The safety of her family also rests on Julia's need to keep her family a secret and to blame someone else for Olivia's murder.

You're going to lose everything if you locate her. How would you respond?

This astute and consistently surprise thriller, which also deftly examines family and motherhood, solidifies Gillian McAllister's status as a great suspenseful talent and a master of crafting morally complex ethical issues that highlight how hazy the line between good and bad can be.
