Deformed children being exploited and murdered... Wealthy CEOs
going on murder mayhems... Overgrown plants coming to life at
exponential speed... Bloody hieroglyphics at the scene of the
crimes... What could all of this have in common? Reporter
Brian Howells and Carrie Daniels, a social worker for one of
the children's family, want to find out. Each of them have
a vested interested in knowing the details, but for
different reasons.
Brian Howell has not seen his dad since he was a boy, but he
knows that somehow his father is involved in all of the
mysterious activities. Even though his mom lost touch with
his dad, she swears he was the one writing her the bloody
notes. With a murder too close to home, Brian must find out
if his dad is the one responsible.
Carrie's boss just happened to insist on her going to the
benefit where rich Lew Haskell was attending. Feeling it was
her duty to thank him for his contribution, Carrie struck up
a conversation that set the ball in motion for Lew to want
to date her, but he was married she thought. Who would have
ever guessed the extent of things Lew was hiding in his
mansion, and Carrie had to get away. There were too many
loose ends, and she was bound and determined to tie them
together.
History has a way of repeating itself in the Vanishing as it
spans the times and zones of our country. "Follow the
money", Brian's mentor had said. That was before he went
missing. Is money the root of all evil? Or is there
something more primal in the air?
Bentley Little's, THE VANISHING, is truly disturbing and
horrific. It has the makings of an incredible horror flick.
The intensity of the characters and the sophistication of
the plot make it a thriller. Little struck gold on this one.
In Beverly Hills a businessman slaughters his entire family
and leaves behind a video of the massacre and a cryptic
message: "this is where it begins." Sure enough, it is only
the beginning. Children everywhere are either being killed
or are disappearing. Social worker Carrie Daniels wants to
know why. God help her when she finds out.
