Overview

A boy disappeared. What took him wants her next. The gripping thriller that will keep you up all night. After the experience with her sister, Rebecca is troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique ability to find children who have disappeared. When she learns about a boy who vanished a year ago, she becomes obsessed by his case. Frustrated that police and media have made little effort to find 13-year-old Ethan Pitt or publicize his disappearance, she jumps back in time to discover what really happened. Though she struggles to trace his movements, her motivation increases the more she learns about this bright, resourceful child, forced to grow up fast after his widowed mother lost her job and became injured in a car crash. She soon learns that Ethan may have inadvertently fallen in with some bad influencers and been coerced into doing something illegal. She also wonders if his case might be connected to that of a boy who disappeared a year earlier under similar circumstances. Rebecca places her past and present lives at deadly risk as she narrows down the suspects and infiltrates the lair of the ruthless manipulator who she thinks must be responsible for Ethan's vanishing.
