The author's ability to build scenes and characters just amazes me, and combined with a fantastic plot, this is a great book! Johnny's twin sister Alyssa disappeared when she was twelve years old, and Johnny has spent the last year trying to find the person that too her. In the meantime, his dad has gone missing, and his mom has completely fallen apart. The cop that promised to bring Alyssa home has lost his wife and son to the job, and just about every other character in this book is broken in some way as well. When a motorcyclist is hit by a car and sent over the side of a bridge to die at Johnny's feet with "I found her" on his lips, the situation amplifies. I could easily put this in my all-time top-ten list!
