Missing
It can’t happen. Days before the Presidential election, traitors force the Candidate’s plane to land—somewhere. Agent Annie McCarthy is taken prisoner along with the campaign.
Did the hijackers fake a plane crash? Can Annie free the hostages? No one on the outside knows what happened—they’re just…missing.
Secret Service agent Annie McCarthy takes down a sniper at a campaign rally. Then the campaign makes a quick swing out west and the Candidate's plane is forced down, landing in a secret cache. Taken prisoner, Annie goes up against a surprise adversary and has to witness a brutal murder. With time running out until everyone's executed, Annie digs deep for inspiration. Cut off from the outside world, she has only one chance for victory over cold-blooded killers. It's sure death if she fails.
MEET ANNIE McCARTHY:
A stunning, raven-haired martial arts expert, Annie was raised in the United States Secret Service. Her father killed in the line of duty, all Annie has ever wanted is to serve on a Presidential protection detail. After her heroic actions prevent a nuclear terrorism strike, Annie finally gets her wish, serving on the team guarding the woman most likely to take the highest office. But events beyond her control take her underground, battling forces determined to change the course of history.
Interview with the Author — June, 2016:
Q – This book is a sequel to Gone?
A – Directly. It's set a few months after Gone, just before the Presidential election.
Q – It's coming out pretty quickly after Gone. How did you do that??
A – The book wrote itself. And it's short. (Laughs)
Q – So the idea was pretty natural, another conspiracy?
A – The opposition is desperate. I'm not saying that's happening, but it's not really a stretch.
Q – It seems like the book has a big emphasis on time.
A – You know the saying: money comes and goes, time just goes.
Q – It sounds like it moves fast.
A – Even faster than Gone. It's a good summer read.
Q - Why should readers give this book a try?
A – I love reading mysteries, detective and political thrillers. Missing combines those genres in one book. Hopefully anyone who reads it will enjoy that, too. It’s a crime thriller that leaves you wrung out and satisfied. The heroine pays a life-changing price, and there's a bit more romance than the previous books. It twists and turns all the way to the end.
Q – Are there prequels or sequels available?
A – Yes, Annie McCarthy stars in the novels Illusion and The Greatest Game, Control and the Control Series, and of course, Gone. Please see my author page for those books.
Q – Anything you would like to add?
A – Thanks for reading!

About the author
Andy King
20 books3 followersCareening down the switchbacks of Highway 1 in Big Sur, it came to him -- he had to do something. With the stories he'd lived through, sharing them was almost good works.
Early on King was a professional musician, then worked in the motion picture business. Later demoted to the software industry, he realized that the keyboard had been following him around for years, so...it was time to write books.
King's debut novel, Illusion, was based on a person he knew with a what-if twist: what if the former-drug-dealer-now-bar-owner was a nice guy, a moral guy, not a maniac, but pursued by consequences from his past? Crime thrillers evolved, like The Greatest Game, starring female sleuth, Charlotte Coil. A slice of inspirational romance with a dash of the paranormal came from other characters King has known, colorful people with checkered pasts, mashed up with urban legends.
The books feature dark romance, mystery and suspense, political figures, terrorists and mafia assassins that result in Secret Service, FBI and CIA involvement. But they're no match for vigilante justice dispensed by the lead characters. You'll find them disturbing and intriguing in their quests for vengeance, and ultimately, freedom.
