Dealing with the death of their baby girl to SIDS, Jeff and
Sarah Griffin's marriage is in crisis. Jeff works as a
mechanic and volunteers as a fireman, while Sarah is a
teacher in their Montana hometown. They have a nine-year-
old son who's always wanted to see New York, so they are
granting his wish with this vacation trip. Jeff and Sarah
are also hoping a change of scenery will help their marital
situation. But picking up the wrong backpack from the
airport baggage claim area throws them into a nightmare
beyond their control.
Thinking everything is fine after the backpack problem is
resolved, the Griffins go sightseeing. While taking photos
in Times Square, Jeff realizes they need new batteries for
their camera and goes into the nearest store. Gone only a
short time, he returns to find that Sarah and Cole are not
where he left them. Frantically searching the area, he's
unable to locate them, then a street person tells him he
saw them get into a white van. Jeff knows they would not
have gone willingly, so he has to contact the police.
At first, the police are suspicious of Jeff, who's beside
himself in anguish. He realizes that no matter what has
happened in the past, Sarah and Cole are the most important
things in his life -- he has to find his family! The police
finally believe Jeff, but they are stretched to the limit
handling protection for all the delegates of the United
Nations in town for a big meeting. If the police can't
help, then Jeff will do whatever it takes to rescue his
loved one on his own. As circumstances unfold and clues are
followed, both by the police and Jeff, it soon becomes
apparent that Sarah and Cole's abduction could have
consequences of global proportion not only for the city of
New York, but the entire world.
This is the second book I've reviewed by Rick Mofina
and I'm as impressed with this one as the first. THEY
DISAPPEARED is so edgy and fast-paced, you'll be holding
your breath in anticipation of the next plot twist. This is
a deeply complex, tightly written thriller that no one
should miss reading.
A loving family, fracturing under pressure...
Jeff Griffin, a mechanic, and his wife, Sarah, travel from
Montana to Manhattan to give their nine-year-old son,
Cole, his dream vacation as they secretly face the heart-
wrenching turmoil that has them teetering on divorce.
In the wake of their heartbreak, a mother and son
disappear...
While sightseeing near Times Square, Jeff steps into a
store to buy batteries for their camera-but upon returning
to the street he finds that Sarah and Cole have vanished.
A frantic father searches for clues as time ticks down...
Battling his anguish and police suspicions, Jeff fights to
rescue Sarah and Cole. He knows now that the love he and
Sarah have is worth saving. But he could lose the chance
to tell her amid growing fears that they have become
entangled in an unfolding plot that could have global
consequences.
