✦ Introduction ✦
Some people disappear.
Some disappearances are planned.
And some secrets are buried so deeply that finding the truth can be more dangerous than losing it.
Welcome to The Missing Person.
This story follows Emma Carter, a former police officer who walked away from the force and built a new life as a private investigator. She prefers working alone, trusts her instincts more than people, and has no intention of reopening the wounds of her past.
Then Alex Turner disappears.
What should have been a straightforward missing-person investigation quickly becomes a trail of unanswered questions, hidden connections, dangerous people, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Along the way, Emma finds herself working with people she never expected to rely on—including Liam Foster, a journalist with whom she shares a complicated history, Sophie Davis, her fiercely loyal and slightly chaotic best friend, and Detective James Walker, whose skepticism toward Emma often puts them on opposite sides of the investigation.
But the closer Emma gets to finding Alex, the more she begins to realize that she isn’t simply searching for a missing man.
Someone doesn’t want Alex found.
And someone may already know that Emma is looking.
The Missing Personis a story of mystery, suspense, conspiracy, danger, complicated relationships, and the search for a truth that was never meant to be discovered.
This is the beginning of a larger story—one that will unfold across three books.
So, before you follow the clues, meet the people, and step into Emma Carter’s world...
Remember one thing.
Not every missing person wants to be found.
