Book Description:
From New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner, author of Alone and The Killing Hour, comes a thriller that goes from heartbreaking to heartstopping in the blink of an eye....
When someone you love vanishes without a trace, how far would you go to get them back? For ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, it's the beginning of his worst nightmare: a car abandoned on a desolate stretch of Oregon highway, engine running, purse on the driver's seat. And his estranged wife, Rainie Conner, gone, leaving no clue to her fate.
Did one of the ghosts from Rainie's troubled past finally catch up with her? Or could her disappearance be the result of one of the cases they'd been working -- a particularly vicious double homicide or the possible abuse of a deeply disturbed child Rainie took too close to heart? Together with his daughter, FBI agent Kimberly Quincy, Pierce is battling the local authorities, racing against time, and frantically searching for answers to all the questions he's been afraid to ask. O
One man knows what happened that night. Adopting the alias of a killer caught eighty years before, he has already contacted the press. His terms are clear: he wants money, he wants power, he wants celebrity. And if he doesn't get what he wants, Rainie will be gone for good. Sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, it's still not enough. As the clock winds down on a terrifying deadline, Pierce plunges headlong into the most desperate hunt of his life, into the shattering search for a killer, a lethal truth, and for the love of his life, who may forever be... gone.

I love this series about Quincy and Raine -- and this was a bone-chilling story. Excellent!

One of the best Lisa Gardner has written. I didn't want to put it down. It keeps you guessing until the end.

Just read this gripping suspense-filled book. L.G. writes a powerful book and keeps you on edge. She can keep you up at night so I recommend reading these during the daytime so you can get some sleep. This particular book in her series is about Rainy the ex-wife alcoholic who disappears mysteriously and is searched for by her ex. Then a little boy disappears too. Great story keeps you guessing till the end. I've stocked up on her books to continue the series.

Fascinating. This was the second book I've read by this author. Both times I finished in a matter of days. A well constructed plot with intriguing characters.

This is a trilegy including Alone and Hide. This book was about a 2 star, but it builds to a 4 star. A page turner which holds your interest from beginning to end.

THIS BOOK WAS A DIFFERENT ONE FROM WHAT AUTHOR USUALLY WRITES. REALLY LET THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOK HAVE EMOTIONS LIKE US. I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE THAT HAS FAMILY. YOU CAN SEE HOW YOU REACT IN SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOK.

Wonderful book! Full of suspense and excitement. Lisa Gardner is always a winner!
Deborah S. Wow what a story! Ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy's wife, Rainie, is kidnapped without a trace...until the ransom note arrives. This is one convoluted tale with numerous investigators and multiple suspects. The entire book (all 448 pages) take place over the course of two days. The kidnapper is a mystery all the way til the last chapter. His motives are obscure and clearly he is a nutcase.
All the mysteries were cleared up except one which bothers me a little. The body of one of the investigating officers is found buried on the property of one of the suspects and nothing ever comes of it. No investigation at all and the boy (Dougie) goes back into his custody with no questions asked. Just seemed weird to me as if the author forgot this part of the story and just left it hanging.
Other than that, I really enjoyed this book. I've read one other book ([book:The Perfect Husband|65910]) by this author which I also enjoyed. I do have one or two more on my shelves so I will definitely read more by Lisa Gardner.
Dawn T. (I don't know that I liked this book as much as previous ones but it was a very good read. Kept you guessing until the end. This is book fifth of the ongoing Quincy-Rainie series. In order the books are:
"The Perfect Husband" intro of Pierce Quincy
"The Third Victim" intro of Rainie Conner
"The Next Accident" intro of Kimberly Quincy
"The Killing Hour" intro of Michael "Mac" McCormack
"Gone"
"Say Goodbye"
I would suggest reading these books in proper order just to understand and appreciate the dynamics of each character and their interaction with each other.
From back cover:
When someone you love vanishes without a trace, how far would you go to get them back?
For ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, it's the beginning of his worst nightmare: a car abandoned on a desolate stretch of Oregon highway, engine running, purse on the driver's seat. And the driver of the car, his estranged wife, Rainie Conner, has vanished without a trace.
Did one of the ghosts from Rainie's troubled past catch up with her? Or could her disappearance be connected to a vicious double homicide they'd been working?
One man knows what happened that night. And if he doesn't get what he wants, Rainie will be gone for good.
As a terrifying deadline nears, Pierce plunges into the most desperate hunt of his life, in search of a killer, a lethal truth, and the love of his life, who may forever be---gone.
-----Other titles by this author include THE PERFECT HUSBAND, THE OTHER DAUGHTER, THE THIRD VICTIM, THE SURVIVOR'S CLUB, ALONE, and HIDE-------
This page turner is one I really like. It's one that's hard to put down, and is a very chilling story. I nearly read it a second time but I have too many others waiting to be read.
This book was excellent!!! I loved it so much! I found myself turning the pages quickly because I couldn't wait to figure out the ending! And trust me, it was a surprise!
