George Gates was once a travel writer fascinated by places where people disappeared - the busy corner in New York City where Judge Crater was last seen, the ghostly bramble of the Lost Colony. Then his eight-year-old son vanished on a rainy afternoon. His body was later found, but his killer never, and Gates lost his taste for things that disappear. Now he writes trivial stories about flower festivals and local celebrities, and spends his evenings haunted by the image of his son's last day.
Enter Arlo McBride, a retired missing-persons detective who still ponders the case of Katherine Carr, a woman who vanished twenty years before, leaving nothing behind but a short story about an eerie stranger who opened her to love ... and a dark pursuit.
As Gates is drawn ever more deeply into Katherine's story, he is equally compelled to reconstruct the last days of its author's life, the inner world into which she disappeared before she vanished from the outer one. Inexorably, Gates's inquiry into the fate of Katherine Carr leads to the exploration of his own.
