Missing

The search for a missing person leads Ravn into the heart of a deadly conspiracy with deep historical roots in this thriller from Denmark's King of Crime. Suspended from his job, criminal investigator Thomas "Ravn" Ravnsholdt lives a lonely, dissolute existence--until he crosses paths with a woman desperate for help locating her missing brother. Driven to embezzlement, the man has vanished without a trace on a visit to Berlin. Ravn's investigation takes a chilling turn when he uncovers a pattern of similar disappearances involving single men in the German capital. As the pieces of this puzzle start to fall into place, Ravn finds himself entangled in a web of darkness and deception that dates back to the era of the Stasi, the fearsome East German secret police. In a race against time to discover the fate of the missing men, Ravn unwittingly unleashes the horrors of the Communist past, putting himself and his client in grave peril. Will he find the answers he seeks, or will the shadows of history swallow him whole? From the award-winning author of Derailed and Darkness Calls, the electrifying second book of the Detective Ravn series is a tense, politically charged crime thriller in the Scandinavian tradition.
