Book description
The Missing is the first instalment in Chris Mooney's
fantastic Darby McCormick series.
The woman missing for five years.
The Crime Scene Investigator who finds her.
And the serial killer who wants them both dead ...
When Boston CSI Darby McCormick finds a raving and emaciated woman
hiding at the scene of a violent kidnap, she runs a DNA search to
identify the Jane Doe. The result confirms she was abducted five years
earlier and has somehow managed to escape from the dungeon in which
she's been caged.
With a teenage couple also missing and Jane Doe seriously ill, the
clock is ticking for Darby as she hunts for the dungeon before anyone
else disappears or dies. And when the FBI takes over the
investigation, it becomes clear that a sadistic serial killer has been
on the prowl for decades - and is poised to strike again at any
moment. A killer with links to horrors that Darby has desperately
tried to bury in her past ...
Fans of Tess Gerritsen, Karin Slaughter and Michael Connelly will be
glued to The Missing. Mooney weaves a shocking narrative as
Darby McCormick navigates the twists and turns of this complex case.
Subsequent titles in the series include The Dead Room and
The Secret Friend.
