Set against the backdrop of North Dakota’s oil boom, two
very different mothers form an uneasy alliance to find
their
missing sons in this heartrending and suspenseful novel
from
the Edgar Award–nominated author of Garden of
Stones.
The booming North Dakota oil business
is
spawning “man camps,” shantytowns full of men hired to
work
on the rigs, in towns without enough housing to
accommodate
them. In such twilight spaces, it’s easy for a person to
vanish. And when two young men in their first year on the
job disappear without a trace, only their mothers believe
there’s hope of finding them. Despite reassurances that
the
police are on the case, the two women think the oil
company
is covering up the disappearances—and maybe something
more.
Colleen, used to her decorous life in a
wealthy Massachusetts suburb, is determined to find her
son.
And hard-bitten Shay, from the wrong side of the
California
tracks, is the only person in town even willing to deal
with
her—because she’s on the same mission. Overtaxed by worry,
exhaustion, and fear, these two unlikely partners question
each other’s methods and motivations, but must work
together
against the town of strangers if they want any chance of
finding their lost boys. But what they uncover could
destroy
them both...
Sure to please fans of Sandra Brown
and
Gillian Flynn, The Missing Place is a moving
chronicle of survival, determination, and powerful bonds
forged in the face of adversity.
