    About “Missing Boy”

    A boy has vanished from a hotel, and the security camera footage shows that he never left the building. The mother distrusts the local police and turns to an unlikely pair of former outsiders.

    Ted Conkaffey lost his career over a false suspicion, and his marriage along with it. Now, with Amanda Pharrell at his side, he searches for the child, and the search puts both of them in danger.

    At the same time, his little daughter is on her way to him, and the investigation could put her in danger as well. How far must Ted go to find a boy whose fate remains uncertain?

    Who is “Missing Boy” for?

    For readers of Australian mysteries who enjoy an uneven detective duo and dense suspense. Anyone who likes cases involving missing children and moral gray areas will find a thriller here that takes its time with its characters. Readers who love crime stories with idiosyncratic outsiders will find characters they will not forget quickly.

    When is “Missing Boy” the best read?

    At just over 370 pages, a long weekend is enough for this thriller, and the suspense holds until the end. It suits a stormy evening especially well, when you want to concentrate fully on the search for a missing child. Anyone who prefers reading in installments can divide the chapters over two or three evenings.

    In what order should you read the “Crimson-Lake-Serie” series?

    The Crimson-Lake series leads to this book by way of “Redemption Point” as its second volume. “Missing Boy” is the third volume of the series and directly follows the second. Anyone who wants to follow the series from the beginning starts with the volume before it and then reads this case.
