Edward Is Missing: A Samantha Leary Psychological Thriller

Samantha Leary Psychological Thrillers Book 6

By: J.E. Nickerson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A missing boy. A shattered mother. A truth buried for fifteen years.

Samantha Leary is about to uncover the kind of nightmare that leaves scars.

When nine-year-old Edward Blake vanished at a crowded concert, the city was shaken—but no body was ever found. Now, fifteen years later, a new murder drags the cold case back into the light, and homicide detective Samantha Leary is pulled into a labyrinth of grief, obsession, and long-buried lies.

Edward’s mother, Suzanne, has been hollowed by loss. Her memories shift like broken glass—fragile, dangerous, and sharp enough to cut anyone who gets too close. And the deeper Samantha digs, the more she realizes Suzanne may be hiding more than she knows… or remembering far less than she believes.

Witnesses resurface. Old reports don’t line up. And a single photograph—an older Edward who doesn’t exist—threatens to crack the case open in ways no one is prepared for.

As Samantha and her partner Greg race to piece together what really happened that night, they uncover a truth twisted by time, trauma, and the desperate lengths people go to for love… or survival.

But some doors, once opened, don’t close again.

And in the world Samantha walks through, every answer comes with a cost.

For fans of chilling emotional suspense, atmospheric police investigation, and psychological depth, this novel delivers a gripping descent into the fragile line between memory and madness.
