“Melds tense suspense with a powerful exploration of devotion, obsession, and love.”—People (Best New Books)
1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the smalltown of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing.
When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.
Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.
A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.

Great read
5By steph_raeI was very leery at first. It seemed so slow and packed with too many random details. I am so glad I stuck with it. This was a great book and all the seemingly pointless details have points.Twists and turns
5By kimafishI really enjoy a good mystery and particularly one without obvious twists. This de not disappoint!A worthy journey
5By Word play frenzyWhat an enchanting book. The characters are rich and offer pieces of themselves throughout the book. We root for them as this story unfolds with so many incredible layers. At its heart is a love story and a story of survival like I’ve never read before.Title

2By AmoB53I liked the way the characters were brought to life but I didn’t like the way others were terminated. I was very disappointed with who it glorified in the end. And a friendship that was taken advantage of for decades. I dunno, didn’t sit well with me.One of the Best
