MISSING PERSON

One snowy night, in a suburban parking lot, a man finds the quarry he's been stalking for months. And Nola Elidad finds herself imprisoned by a strangely caring kidnapper-- who insists she is his lost wife. Soon, he says-- when she's no longer sick-- she will remember who she is. But Nola knows she isn't the woman he claims... or is she? A nightmare journey is about to begin, propelling her into the shifting shadows of her own memory...

Across town, Nola's husband of three months must admit to Detective Lucas Conroy that he knows nothing of his bride's former life. Nor, it seems, does anyone else-- not her boss, not her doctor-- or they're not saying. Who is Nola Elidad? Somehow, Conroy must find the answer, even if his search for the missing woman leads him into a dark past haunted by cruelty, subterfuge, and murder.
