The search for a missing child reveals she is not the only one... In a little village in Lombardy, it's a cold November morning when Ami steps out of her house to go to school... and never comes back. As soon as her father raises the alarm, a frantic search begins. The investigation is led by Police Commissioner Sensi. His men immediately find a trail to follow, but it soon proves to lead nowhere. Three months later, Police Commissioner Sensi decides to visit Dr Claps, an old friend and a renowned criminologist, who guesses from his first few words the real reason for the visit. It's not just about Ami; she's not the only little girl to have disappeared. What people are saying about MISSING: Full of twists and turns, red herrings and an ending I never guessed' 'Kept me reading to the small hours, very enjoyable' 'I am not sure I am sufficiently experienced at reviewing to actually do this book justice, it was brilliant' A gripping serial killer thriller for fans of Angela Marsons and Jeffrey Deaver. Monty Marsden, a Tuscan by birth, grew up in Milan, where he studied medicine and still works. He lives in the province of Bergamo, with his wife and four children.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The author Charlie Kaufman wrote a novel called Antkind, which was reviewed in the British newspaper the Observer in August 2020. The reviewer, Holly Williams, criticized the book because the narrator operated from a white-male-cis-het perspective. But the narrator was Jewish, and there was no mention of his Jewishness or the issue of Jewishness in the book. #2 The modern cultural conversation about reassessing great writers from the past in the light of current political understanding is not always negative. In the case of the early twentieth-century novelist Edith Wharton, for example, some have recently argued that she has been overlooked in the canon. #3 The issue is not that Wharton wrote things that are anti-Semitic, but that she did not include what her characters or herself would say about Jews. #4 We live in a time where politics is constantly injected into everything. This was evident in a recent BBC documentary about the drama strand Play for Today, which focused on plays that expressed radical politics and social issues.
