After being critically shot by the police in a Boston cemetery, Keller Affery examines the events and memories that led him to that fateful moment. Haunted by the past, he must come to terms with an abusive step-father, and a mother who abandoned him while he was still a child, with only a terrifying ledger of newspaper clippings detailing some of the most heinous acts committed by humankind. Gritty, dark, and emotional, The Missing is a must have psychological driven novel influenced by some of the greatest authors of our time, including John Steinbeck, Richard Bachman, Ernest Hemingway, and Erich Maria Remarque.
