A kidnapping case reopens with an impossible phone call

East Texas police dispatcher Ian Hunt receives a call from his daughter—though she has been dead for four months. The caller is the man who abducted her seven years earlier, and the brief description Ian hears sets him on a pursuit from Texas to California along Interstate 10. A 1965 Mustang carries the chase across the country, while the premise combines a family’s unresolved loss with a thriller’s kidnapping investigation and criminal violence.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of crime thrillers centered on a kidnapping and a pursuit across the United States.
  • For readers interested in stories about family bonds, loss, and a parent’s search for an abducted child.

Book overview

*Coming September 9 as a six-part Apple TV series called Last Seen, starring Patrick Brammall of Colin from Accounts*

From the author of the award-winning debut crime novel Good Neighbors--a white-knuckle thriller about the lengths a man will go to for his daughter

The phone rings. It's your daughter. She's been dead for four months.

So begins East Texas police dispatcher Ian Hunt's fight to get his daughter back. The call is cut off by the man who snatched her from her bedroom seven years ago, and a basic description of the kidnapper is all Ian has to go on. What follows is a bullet-strewn cross-country chase from Texas to California along Interstate 10- a wild ride in a 1965 Mustang that passes through the outlaw territory of No Country for Old Men and is shot through with moments of macabre violence that call to mind the novels of Thomas Harris.
