Publisher Description

A shocking crime … an explosive trial … an electrifying novel of suspense

On a soft summer night, she vanishes. With her friends sleeping nearby, with her parents' wealth and power guarding her, someone walks into her bedroom and takes fourteen-year-old Emma Lancaster away. That is the first crime.

Eight days later, abduction becomes murder. Police hunt for the killer; a year later, they make an arrest. With an outraged town crying out for blood, powerful media tycoon Doug Lancaster vows to see his daughter's accused murderer convicted and put to death.

Only one man stands in his way. Once a hard-driving, take-no-prisoners DA, Luke Garrison sent a defendant to the death chamber—only to discover that he was innocent. Now a defense lawyer, Luke is faced with the toughest decision of his life. If he plays it right, it could give him back his life. If he's wrong, he could die. And a killer could walk.

"I recently read another book by this same author. I thought The Disappearance would continue with character's from the previous story. I have to say I was a little disappointed that it didn't."

    " Just okay, the murderer was easy to guess so the book just leaves you with the question...'why are these characters so dumb?'...oh yeah...for the drama. "

    " Decently written, although it often read as a script. There were not a great deal of character development outside of the main character. I definitely felt the need to find out 'whodunnit', but it definitely was not a book I felt compelled to read. "
