Duane Greenleaf once put a man into a coma with just his fists, and he spent eight years in prison for it. Sean Keays thinks he's about to embark on an illicit lark, an adventure... a victimless crime. He plans to steal a lot of money and just disappear. And Jenny Howell once made a terrible mistake-she went out on a date with Justin Henly, and now she lives in fear. Inexorably, their lives intersect, and as they do, the suspense builds. Praise for Brian Tobin: THE RANSOM The Ransom is a first novel that races through the boroughs of New York like an A train. - The Chicago Tribune Tobin's outstanding first novel is a rereadable, memorable mystery-a knockout, a spellbinder. - The Drood Review of Mystery {A} tidy, zippy novel. - Kirkus Review THE MISSING PERSON In an unusual mystery without a conventional hero or villain, Tobin movingly depicts the lives of ordinary people who suddenly find themselves in extraordinary circumstances... Tobin makes the most of plot, character and the warmly evoked Hudson Valley setting in this satisfying, atypical mystery. - Publishers Weekly Tobin's grasp of the characters is so sure that the suspense doesn't let up... - Kirkus Review There is a mystery here..but the novel is really about love, separation, longing, and the pain of never knowing the fate of a loved one. Tobin, whose debut novel, The Ransom, was stunning in its portrayal of career outlaws, is equally at home with good people coping with awful circumstances... A complex, thoughtful novel. - Booklist It delivers the suspense most mysteries only promise. - Wilson Library Bulletin With expert narration that moves easily back and forth in time, Mr. Tobin lures us into the grip of a well-built, fast-paced story with both a tantalizing mystery and a love story at its core. The tight and complicated plot never seems forced because it grow out of the motivations and actions of strong, believable characters... He keeps us in suspense until the last page, where the final surprise, and perhaps the most unexpected, is how deeply he has tapped our emotions. - The New York Times Book Review
