A detective missing from his own agency

Holmes, Marple & Poe Investigations is on the verge of establishing its reputation when a series of child abductions puts the agency’s abilities to the test. The complication is personal as well as professional: Brendan Holmes, the team’s analytical member, has disappeared, and the remaining detectives must work without him while confronting a mystery inside their own ranks. The setup brings two strands of crime-solving together—an urgent investigation into the abductions and the question of Holmes’s absence—within a New York City private-investigation agency built around three contrasting roles.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy crime thrillers centered on a detective team and a series of investigations.
  • Readers interested in mysteries that combine a missing investigator with a child-abduction case.

Book overview

Instant New York Times Bestseller!

From the world's #1 bestselling author, PI Brendan Holmes has committed the perfect crime--he's made himself disappear.

"Bestselling author James Patterson populates his murder mystery novels with cold-blooded killers and smart detectives." --USA Today

Success has come quickly to Holmes, Marple & Poe Investigations. The New York City agency led by three detectives--Brendan Holmes, "the brain," Margaret Marple, "the eyes," and Auguste Poe, the "muscle"--with famous names and mysterious pasts is one major case away from cementing its professional reputation.

But as a series of child abductions tests the PIs' legendary skills, the cerebral Holmes's absence leaves a gaping hole in the agency roster.

Only by closing ranks and solving the mystery within can they recover all that's been lost.
