Used book – *Missing Persons*, Patricia MacDonald

How to explain the disappearance of Justin, six months old, and his fifteen-year-old babysitter? No trace, no ransom demand. In Taylorsville, there's no shortage of obvious suspects, targets of various hatreds: Ellen, depressed since the death of her infant child; or this high school teacher already charged with sexual harassment of a minor? The author of The Double Death of Linda and A Woman Under Surveillance raises the stakes again in this harrowing thriller, where the life of a baby is at stake until the very last page. With unparalleled psychological insight, she leads us to a surprising - and poignant - truth.
