They vanished without a trace. But someone is always looking. Missing Presumed Dead is a collection of eight gripping tales from the Women's Thriller Writers Association, each one a window into the terrifying world of women who disappear - and the determined souls who refuse to stop searching. From stolen gold to shattered lives, from missing children to missing women, these stories explore the darkest corners of human experience and the fierce tenacity of those who fight to bring them home.
What We Sacrifice by Deb Collins: Kidnapped, twenty-five-year-old Dani knows her adoptive parents in America have plenty of money to get her back, but Mick isn't asking for ransom. Instead, he coerces her into Mexico to show her where she was stolen at the age of five. As Dani is forced to reconnect with her past, she uncovers a series of vile secrets involving Mick, her adoptive parents, and the criminal circumstances that surround her very existence, and she must take control of her situation before it's too late.
No One Waited for Morning by Michelle Tennant Nicholson: A post-hurricane whitewater kayaking run in the Southeast ends with a decision to walk out before dark - and a realization in the parking lot that someone is missing. As temperatures plummet, trucks, chainsaws, and headlamps push back into the forest in a race against freezing air and fading hope.
Toroweap by Sonja Dewing: When Leslie Kicklighter arrives at one of the most remote campsites in America, she expects breathtaking views and an unforgettable adventure with her friend. What she doesn't expect is to wake up alone. Sarah is missing, the satellite phone is dead, and the only ranger for miles is acting like he has something to hide. Trapped at the edge of the Grand Canyon, Leslie has only her instincts between her and a three-thousand-foot drop. Some adventures you plan. Some find you first.
The Wrong Sister by S.L. Hulen: When seventeen-year-old Cassie disappears after a late shift at a small-town restaurant, her younger sister Maya is the only one who believes she was taken. As the search leads to a hidden network of predators and a power older than the desert itself, Maya risks everything to bring her sister home. In a place where girls vanish without a trace, one sister refuses to stop looking.
Gone in the Night by Erynn Leigh: When her mother's neighbor, Anna, vanishes after a break-in, private investigator Liz Meyers agrees to locate her. But the trail soon goes cold after Liz discovers that Anna is running from a dangerous, hidden past. Liz is in a race against time to locate Anna before her past catches up to her.
