Описание: Returning to New Orleans from the battlefields of France in 1919, Sam Simoneaux determines to put destruction behind him and settle down with his wife. But when a little girl is abducted on his watch at a department store, he feels duty bound to help find her. Getting a job on a steamboat alongside her musician parents, he embarks on a dangerous foray up the Mississippi and into its lawless hinterland.

Set in Louisiana during prohibition and at the dawn of the Jazz Age, The Missing vividly evokes a ragged frontier country where violence is just another way of life. Taut with suspense and profoundly affecting, this is an enthralling tale of vengeance, conscience and redemption by an exceptional writer. Tim Gautreaux is the author of two short story collections and the novels The Next Step In The Dance and The Clearing.

An extraordinary novel, one of the best Ive read in years Annie Proulx, Guardian Near perfect...untouchably good Alan Warner, Books of the Year, Daily Telegraph Astonishingly powerful...brilliantly written and the characters in their mire are superbly realised Toby Clements, Daily Telegraph
