The Disappearance

By: J. F. Freedman

Narrated by: Patrick Cullen

On a soft summer night, she vanishes. With her friends sleeping nearby, with her parents’ wealth and power guarding her, someone walks into her bedroom and takes 14-year-old Emma Lancaster away. That is the first crime.

Eight days later, abduction becomes murder. Police hunt for the killer; a year later, they make an arrest. With an outraged town crying out for blood, powerful media tycoon Doug Lancaster vows to see his daughter’s accused murderer convicted and put to death.

Only one man stands in his way. Once a hard-driving, take-no-prisoners DA, Luke Garrison sent a defendant to the death chamber—only to discover that he was innocent. Now a defense lawyer, Luke is faced with the toughest decision of his life. If he plays it right, it could give him back his life. If he’s wrong, he could die. And a killer could walk.

Critic reviews

“Plenty of twists and turns in this portrait of corruption and evil in a small town.” ( Chicago Tribune)

“Freedman keeps readers turning pages deep into the night.” ( Entertainment Weekly)

“Completely engrossing…. You won't want to put this book down for a second.” ( Detroit News and Free Press)

Exciting story

loved all the surprises and the ending was not expected ! thank you ! first book I have listened to by this author, won't be last

Outstanding

The twists the turns and not wanting it to end. I especially liked the narrator. His voice made it all come to life. Truly one of the best books I’ve ever listened to. I’ll now buy the book so I can read it again many years from now.

Where's Dick Hill when you need him?

I thought the story was very good but the narrator's monotone delivery put me to sleep more than once.

Great book

I highly recommend this book. I felt like I was there watching a movie. Can’t wait to hear the next books

Awesome!

Any additional comments?

I could not wait to get up the morning, throw my sneakers and hit the road to listen to this. So GOOD! I thought the narrator was going to be a problem but I got used to him...
