Edgar Award finalist Ben Rehder—hailed by Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Field & Stream—launches the gripping Roy Ballard mystery series with Gone the Next.
About Gone the Next:
Roy Ballard is a freelance videographer who makes his living catching insurance fraud in action. Most days, it’s monotonous stakeouts and endless hours of watching nothing happen. But this case is different.
Through his camera lens, Ballard spots a little blond girl in a pink top and denim shorts—an exact match for Tracy Turner, a six-year-old abducted just the day before.
When the police doubt his report—and given his past, he can’t exactly blame them—Ballard realizes he may be the only one willing to chase the truth. And if he’s right, it could be the most urgent, dangerous case of his life.
