Missing Pieces cover

In Missing Pieces, two women go missing, intertwining their fates with a detective's race against time to uncover the truth before it's too late.

In Missing Pieces, Rebekah Murphy finds herself unexpectedly stranded on a desolate island during winter, her family unaware of her predicament. As she grapples with her isolation, a sinister presence looms nearby—a killer intent on making her their next target. The suspense intensifies as Rebekah must summon her strength and resourcefulness to survive, all while the mystery of her own past threatens to catch up with her. What awaits her upon her return home could be even more dangerous than the immediate threat she faces on the island.

Parallel to Rebekah's harrowing journey, Detective Travis is embroiled in a perplexing case involving the disappearance of Louise Mason. With no leads and time running out, Travis receives an anonymous tip that could either be a breakthrough or a trap. As he delves deeper into the investigation, he begins to uncover unsettling connections between the two missing women. The narrative weaves together these seemingly unrelated threads, raising questions about the nature of their disappearances and the dark forces at play.

Missing Pieces is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. With its intricate plotting and unexpected twists, the story explores themes of survival, the quest for truth, and the haunting impact of unresolved pasts. The chilling atmosphere and strong character development make this novel a compelling read that will linger long after the final page is turned.
