Synopsis

From acclaimed thriller writer Sarah Lotz, hailed by Stephen King as "vastly entertaining," a new novel about a group of amateur detectives infiltrated by the sadistic killer whose crimes they're investigating.
Reclusive bookseller Shaun Ryan has always believed that his uncle Teddy died in a car accident twenty years ago. Then he learns the truth: Teddy fled his home in Catholic, deeply conservative County Wicklow, Ireland, for New York and hasn't been heard from since. None of Shaun's relatives will reveal why they lied about his uncle's death or why they want Shaun to leave the whole affair alone.

But Shaun has a burning need to find out the truth. His search is unsuccessful until he's contacted by Chris Guzman, a woman who runs a website dedicated to matching missing-persons cases with unidentified bodies. Chris and her team of cold-case obsessives suspect that Shaun is looking for the "Boy in the Dress," one victim in a series of gay men murdered by the same killer.

But who are these internet fanatics really, and how do they know so much about a case that has stumped police for decades? Soon armchair sleuths and professional investigators are on a collision course with a sadistic serial killer who's gotten away with his crimes for far too long - and now they're in his sights.

the only sarah lotz i’d read before this was under her s.l. grey pseudonym, and since that’s a two authors/one name situation, i don’t really have a sense of how this one stacks up against her other solo works, but i thought it was great, and it makes me want to dive into all her other books i have......more

Goodreads review by Julie (JuJu) on August 26, 2019

A unique and entertaining character-driven thriller, that has the vibe of a true-crime story. 480 pages! This is the first thing that came to mind when I started reading it. Not sure how I ended up requesting a book this lengthy, because I hate reading long books! But a large portion of the book is......more

Goodreads review by Dennis on August 28, 2019

What a great deep, character-driven, crime-fiction novel! Sarah Lotz, I've never read anything by you before, but Missing Person is fabulous! No lie, I couldn't put this book down and stayed up super late last night to finish it. You can tell by the dark circles formed down to my cheekbones!......more

Goodreads review by Blair on September 05, 2019

The bad news is this isn't horror. The good news is it's as gripping and entertaining as anything Lotz has written. Shaun, a twentysomething gay guy in Ireland, finds out his uncle Teddy – who he'd previously been told was dead – actually ran away to New York about 30 years ago. On a mission to trac......more


Quotes

PRAISE FOR SARAH LOTZ

"Sarah Lotz's utterly absorbing and thoroughly modern mystery has everything I look for in a novel: vivid, arresting prose, a thrilling story, and unforgettable characters. Missing Person is so good I want to shove it at my friends and make them read it in front of me so I can watch them fall for it, too."—Elizabeth Little, bestselling author of Dear Daughter
