Agatha Award-nominated author Edwin Hill's second book featuring Harvard librarian Hester Thursby is an intimate,

intricate mystery as smart and complex as it is riveting. The Missing Ones is an intelligent, dark suspense novel that centers around a flawed female character who is a librarian and has a side business tracking down the lost.

""Twists that'll just take your breath away. A salty, stormy and seductive read.""

-Mario Giordano, author of Auntie Poldi and the Vineyards of Etna

Finisterre Island, off the coast of Maine, is beautiful and remote-the kind of place tourists love to visit. But not everyone is welcome. A dilapidated Victorian house has become home to a group of squatters and junkies, and strangers have a habit of bringing trouble. A young boy disappeared during the summer, and though he was found safely, the incident stirred suspicion among locals. Now another child is missing. Summoned to the island by a cryptic text, Hester Thursby discovers a community cleaning up from a devastating storm-and uncovers a murder.

Soon Hester begins to connect the crime and the missing children. And as she untangles the secrets at the center of the small community, she finds grudges and loyalties that run deep, poised to converge with a force that will once again shake her convictions about the very nature of right and wrong . . .

""Intense. . . . Hill is adept at building compassion for his characters in a tight-knit social web while implicating them in dark thoughts and actions. He remains a writer to watch."" -Publishers Weekly
