Gone (Mass Market Paperback)

$7.99
ISBN-13: 9780553588071
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Bantam, 12/2006
After recently hosting a book signing by Lisa Gardner, I decided to read Gone, a random choice from among her many suspense novels. At the signing Lisa spoke of her dedication to research of police and detective procedure at all levels from small town to Federal. She also expressed a keen interest in crime among children that was interesting, as well as frightening and eerie. Gone is the perfect combination of her insights at our signing. The novel begins with love lost between Quincy and Rainie, complicated by alcohol abuse and horrible nightmares of Rainie’s troubled and abusive childhood. Further complications include murder on both sides of the coupling, and struggles with the foster care system and its troublesome failings with eight year old Dougie, who becomes a part of their life and has a tendency to set fire to his foster homes. The kidnapping of Rainie, the alcoholic, and Dougie, the “firestarter” sets the scene for local Oregon police dealing with Quincy, his daughter, and future son-in-law – who are FBI profilers. The book moves quickly and dramatically to the very end, with Lisa delivering all that she promised. --bkh

This is an extremely entertaining book about vampires roaming about the Mississippi river steam boating scene of the mid 1800’s.

Abner Marsh, a veteran steamboat captain  finds himself in a situation that partners him with Joshua  York, an odd but quite wealthy gentleman. Together with Joshua’s wealth and Abner’s knowledge, they create the "Fevre Dream," one of the finest steamboats on the river. The relationship is plagued by doubts and suspicions due to Joshua’s odd nature and culminates in Joshua’s confession of his true nature. This truth intensifies their partnership and together they fight Damon Julian for the powerful position of bloodmaster. The fate of the Vampire race depends on the outcome of the bloody struggle.

George R. R. Martin creates an intriguing struggle of good and evil in the world of Vampires that continues to the very last page. --bkh
