The Vanishing

No one was ever supposed to see her again.

Until the day she mysteriously disappeared, Dr. Claire Prescott’s younger sister, Amanda, was her best friend, her shadow. Now Claire has been left with a hole in her heart and too many unanswered questions.

Cult researcher and bestselling novelist Martin Belgrade remembers well the day he arrived home to find his infant daughter, Melanie, crying and alone on the kitchen floor. The blow from the unseen attacker rendered him unconscious, but it was waking to find his wife and child gone that nearly killed him.

Years later, in a strange twist of fate, Claire and Martin’s lives have intersected, and the man who has stolen so much from them both has been identified.

Together with a team of specially trained extraction experts, Claire and Martin set out on a mission to rescue their missing loved ones; a dangerous quest that will lead them deep into the lair of a brilliant and calculating serial killer.
