In Afghanistan, a US pilot is shot down during a covert mission. In New York, a mother is forced to flee with her two young children. Finding the connection between the two will lead the Private team right into a deadly trap.
A wealthy businessman approaches Jack Morgan, head of Private—the world's largest investigation agency—with a desperate plea to track down his daughter and two grandchildren, who have disappeared without a trace.
What at first seems to be a simple missing persons case soon escalates into something much more deadly, when Jack discovers the daughter is being pursued by highly trained operatives.
As Jack uncovers more of the woman's backstory, the trail leads towards Afghanistan—where Jack's career as a US Marine ended in catastrophe ...
Jack will need to face the trauma of his past to save a family's future.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A genius private eye takes on a simple missing persons case that turns out to be anything but in this instalment of James Patterson’s Jack Morgan mystery series. Morgan runs an elite global investigation agency, and though he’s moving away from hands-on work, he makes an exception when he’s approached by a distraught businessman whose adult daughter Beth and her two children have gone missing. Morgan and his team soon learn that Beth, a former military operative, is in bigger danger than they realized—and the case may have global political implications. Missing Persons is a fast-paced thrill ride that jumps from one crisis (and country) to another, with fascinating heroes, mysterious villains, and new dangers popping up like a string of firecrackers. It’s another winner from one of America’s most popular storytellers.
