Gone But Not Missed
by A. R. Kennedy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
Mystery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Lillian Brannon
wakes up on Valentine's Day in an exact replica of her bedroom but the only
item that she believes is authentic is her dog, Laude. She is held captive in
her kidnapper's basement apartment, summoned upstairs once a week for a chaste
dinner. But will his kindness last, and more importantly, why isn’t anyone
looking for her?
Lillian’s story
is interwoven with that of Nathan, a NYPD officer, who is intrigued by
Lillian’s disappearance- how can a young woman be gone for two weeks before a
Missing Person Report is filed? Local police believe Lillian has voluntarily
abandoned a life she didn’t like. Lillian’s best friend convinces Nathan the
authorities are wrong. With no jurisdiction, no resources, and no witnesses, he
is compelled by the pictures of Lillian with her sweet smile and sparkling
green eyes to obsessively take up the case. Armed with Lillian’s keys and
personal information, he spends hours, then days in her home trying to find
clues that will lead him to her.

EXCERPT TWO:
Nathan
As
we stepped off the elevator on the fifth floor, he continued. “I already looked
around the apartment. Found nothing. Just have to go back in for a second. I
left the Missing Persons Report in there.”
“How
long she been gone?,” I asked. As he entered the apartment, I stood in the
doorway. I looked around the simple apartment. It looked barely lived in. There
was nothing hung on the walls; no
personal touches anywhere in sight.
“Two
weeks,” Steve answered.
I
shook my head in disbelief. “That’s a long time.”
“Well,
we don’t know if she’s missing, or left, or...”
“What
do you mean?” I looked at Steve, not knowing where he was going with this.
“We
got a call from a lady last week rambling on and on about a missing dog. She’s
a dog walker; dog’s gone. She’s distraught. I give her the number for the
shelter. Tell her to call local vets, post signs, whatever. I figure she lost
the dog and knows the owner is going to be pissed. But, she says the owner’s
gone too. I look up the girl’s name, no missing person report. I tell the woman
sorry she’s lost a client but not a police matter. She just wouldn’t stop about
the damn dog. Then we get a call from an out of state friend who says she can’t
reach the lady either and files the report.” Steve walked around the apartment,
continuing to gesture wildly. “She lives close to where we used to. Ardsley,
Pennsylvania.”
