Vanished

Jake Littleton #3

by Whit Gentry

A warehouse fire in old San Francisco opens to the world a dark business being orchestrated by a prominent distinguished fertility clinic doctor. Harmless, unattached, free spirit, runaway, young men and women were kidnapped and used in the sex slave market through China, used as sources for body parts in the black market, and used as breeders to supply babies to infertile well-off couples. These lost souls had abandoned their families for a free life and were reported as missing by their love ones, but when they disappeared from their new life, no one was there to make an issue that they were gone. The fire immediately sends the doctor into hiding outside the U.S. How could law enforcement find and return the doctor of darkness or would it take assets outside law enforcement to find the doctor and right a wrong?

Book Three of the series.. Awesome book, a great addition to the series.

In fact, I think I'll go back to the beginning of the series and enjoy all over again.

Suspenseful, edge of your seat thriller. Within the most important part is something that made me laugh out loud. At first I thought I was seeing an optical illusion. But no, it was just a perfect release from the most suspenseful part of this novel. Page turner. Can't wait Whit, for The Decision. In fact I think
I'll go back to the beginning of the series and enjoy all over again.

Vanished by Whit Gentry
Once again, unpleasant but very real issues are tackled by Gentry. A slightly different take on human trafficking leads Jake Littleton and friends to vigilante justice.
Jake Littleton is again a bit of an afterthought. He really doesn’t fit prominently in the story except for his organizational skills. Gentry has softened up a bit, the body count was kept to a minimum in this book. There were more successful attempts at negotiation and thusly fewer bodies.
The author has a strong penchant for biblical justice. The eventual justice meted out was particularly creative. The only loose end I found was the Chinese detective. Possibly I missed the connection but I’m not sure why he was included in the book.
I admit to a fondness for Gentry’s biblical justice, one only has to read the newspaper (a news format printed on paper and available for home delivery for you podcast people) to see how money and position lead to minimal or no punishment.
I had an audible chuckle when one surprise character was introduced, reminiscent of Stan Lee, Alfred Hitchcock and Clive Cussler.
I enjoyed the book and I recommend it.

A gripping, and all too real, page turner.
