Annie O'Sullivan leads a normal life. She is 32 years old,
owns a home, has a dog and works as a realtor on Vancouver
Island. This normalcy ceases the moment a man arrives at
one of her open houses. David has blue eyes, blond hair and
wears a nice shirt and pressed khaki pants. Pretty normal.
But he's not; far from it. He kidnaps Annie at gunpoint,
drugs her and takes her to a cabin on a mountain where she
wakes to discover she is his prisoner, and they are going
to live together for the rest of their lives.
David, otherwise known as The Freak, starts a series of
rituals and rules Annie must follow to avoid being beaten.
After surviving a life of hell for a year, Annie is able to
escape and make her way back to her hometown. However,
there is no way she can get back to her old life; she is
forever changed. And there are so many unanswered questions
as to why she was kidnapped and the true identity of her
kidnapper. Will she ever learn the truth?
STILL MISSING is Chevy Stevens debut novel.
Published in hardback, it is worth every penny you will pay
to own it. The story is packed with twists and shocking
events that will make you gasp and leave you breathless. I
didn't want to give away anything. All I can say is Ms.
Stevens is a hell of a writer and I can't wait for more
stories from this author.
On the day she was abducted, Annie O'Sullivan, a
32-year-old realtor, had three goals: sell a house,
forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on
time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open
house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van
as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her
lucky day after all.
Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent as the
captive of a psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which
unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist, is a second
narrative recounting events following her escape; her
struggle to piece her shattered life back together and the
ongoing police investigation into the identity of her
captor. The truth doesn't always set you free.
Still Missing is that rare debut find; a shocking,
visceral, brutal and beautifully crafted novel.
