From barnesandnoble.com: Set against
the backdrop of North Dakota’s oil boom, two very different mothers form
an uneasy alliance to find their missing sons in this heartrending and
suspenseful novel from the Edgar Award–nominated author of Garden of Stones.
The booming North Dakota oil
business is spawning “man camps,” shantytowns full of men hired to work
on the rigs, in towns without enough housing to accommodate them. In
such twilight spaces, it’s easy for a person to vanish. And when two
young men in their first year on the job disappear without a trace, only
their mothers believe there’s hope of finding them. Despite
reassurances that the police are on the case, the two women think the
oil company is covering up the disappearances—and maybe something more.
Colleen, used to her decorous life
in a wealthy Massachusetts suburb, is determined to find her son. And
hard-bitten Shay, from the wrong side of the California tracks, is the
only person in town even willing to deal with her—because she’s on the
same mission. Overtaxed by worry, exhaustion, and fear, these two
unlikely partners question each other’s methods and motivations, but
must work together against the town of strangers if they want any chance
of finding their lost boys. But what they uncover could destroy them
both...
Sure to please fans of Sandra Brown and Gillian Flynn, The Missing Place is a moving chronicle of survival, determination, and powerful bonds forged in the face of adversity.
