Description

From this acclaimed crime writer - a mystery about a travel writer who becomes obsessed by a story written 20 years earlier by a woman who disappeared.

Description

"George Gates is a former travel writer. He used to specialise in writing about places where people disappeared, sometimes individuals, sometimes whole societies. Now, since the murder of his eight-year-old son, Gates writes for the town paper about flower festivals and local celebrities. Enter Arlo McBride, a retired missing persons detective. Knowing Gates' past, he mentions the case of Katherine Carr, a woman who vanished 20 years before, leaving nothing behind but a few poems and a strange story. It is this story that spurs Gates to inquire into its missing author’s brief life and dire fate, an exploration that leads him to discoveries about life and death, mystery and resolution." --Publisher.
