“Kept me frantically turning the pages and somehow made me cry at the end . . . Brava!”—Kristin Hannah, author of The Women

“Melds tense suspense with a powerful exploration of devotion, obsession, and love.”—People

1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the smalltown of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing.

When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.

Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.

A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.

    This was such a beautiful and captivating story of love, desperation, hopelessness and a determination to do the right thing. I love how the story was never boring and every page had a reason for being written. The characters were wonderfully written. The story captivated the darkness and light of living through a tragedy. It truly captured how a tragedy not only affects a victim but also their friends and family.

    It is not easy to read a book as long as this and be virtually unable to put it down. Very well done. It’s amazing how some people can be so bad and some lives so hard, and yet there can be such beauty and other people in the world around them.
  • What a masterpiece

    Larry McMurtry has been my favorite author for his deeply fleshed out characters, his wonderful description of people & nature. He makes you laugh and sob - this book did the same. Just loved this story.
  • Worth the read

    I really enjoyed this book. It gets a little slow in the middle but worth it when you reach the last few chapters.

  • Good novel if not longer than it needed to be

    I’ll admit that the more than 250 chapters put me off this novel for a good while. While each chapter is short, the story has a very long arc and seems to struggle to keep pace at times. In the end I enjoyed the characters and how they wound up but felt that some better editing could’ve helped.
  • It was so good

    I really liked this book but I’m torn between three and four stars because it felt too long sometimes.The characters were complex in a good way but I’m a “I can figure this out fast” type of girl so I kept thinking when will this wrap up??? All in all- a great read.
