Missing Person
Curiosity killed the cat.
Sixteen year-old Conner had the perfect life: good grades, a good family, captain of the basketball team with college scouts eyeing him even before his senior year of high school. That is, until a missing person flyer at a frozen yogurt shop with a picture that reminds him of himself sparks the fuel of doubt in his mind about his upbringing.
As Conner begins to ask questions of his parents, his world begins to cave in as they become protective and any questions that he has leads to dead ends, leading him to question whether anything in his life is real or not. When he digs into research on his own, he finds that the picture-perfect life he lives may not be so perfect as dark secrets begin to emerge in the process. What lies beneath the surface may be scarier than he could have ever imagined, leading him on a cross-country journey of self-discovery with a mysterious trucker named Cliff. Missing Person is a twisted distortion of reality, and a reminder that things are not always what they seem.
What would you do if everything you ever knew was a lie?

This was a book that w as hard to put down. It's hard to believe that there can be such cruel people in this world who can actually kidnap children. This book shows how it is. I was so happy to see that there was one person who helped this young boy to live through the experience.

Missing Person is a gripping book that takes you on a journey into the lives of characters that keeps you in suspense as you try to figure out what’s going to happen next. Matt Horton takes you on a suspense filled ride that has you trying to figure out the mysteries before they unfold, and there are lots of unexpected things that keep you intrigued until the very end. The main characters are developed really well, and you can’t help but root for them to overcome the darkness in their lives. In addition to the great storyline, there’s a back story of hope, perseverance, and triumph. I enjoyed the final pages that brought about awareness to a growing epidemic around the world. This book is a great read, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a great suspense book.
