An excellent thriller.
Paige Baker is lost in the Montana's Glacier National Park. Due to past cases involving children, FBI gets involved from the start along with Park rangers and SFPD. They immediately suspect foul play and Doug and Emily Baker (the parents) are immediately under suspicion. The events leading to the Baker's family vacation further complicates the case. In the meantime, there is something Emily is hiding about her past that seems to be connected to the case.
In a parallel story, A child killer Isaiah Hood is scheduled to be executed. But a last minute plea of innocence by him baffles his lawyer David Cohen. He tries to investigate and finds a shocking connection between Hood and the missing girls case.
What is the connection? Is Paige really lost? Is Paige alive or dead? Can FBI uncover Emily's secrets? What are these secrets? Is Doug responsible for the events?
Answers to all these questions are revealed in the un-putdown-able book by Rick Mofina.
I am giving a 5 star review for a book after a very long time (in fact, first time except harry potter books which I really like). And the book deserves it. This is a thriller that lives up to expectations till the very last page of the book. There is never a dull moment in the narration and you feel exhilarated by the end. You are tired as if you were involved in the search for Paige, as if you were investigating the case yourself. I have never felt like this before, (may be only once when I read [b: Da Vinci Code|968|The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon, #2)|Dan Brown|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1303252999s/968.jpg|2982101]).
Thrillers and Suspense novels usually suffer from poor endings where you enjoy reading the book till the very end and then feel disappointed when you read the climax either because the ending seems to be out of the blue with no clue in the entire book, or because you had already anticipated the end. In this book however, you get to formulate 3-4 possible endings and each of these are explored in the book. At the end, you are not disappointed to find one of these to be true. That is the power of narration by [a: Rick Mofina|93666|Rick Mofina|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1277928341p2/93666.jpg].
