When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges--Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake. Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another. A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope."-- The Pirate and the Beekeeper: 1975 -- The Lovers, The Dreamers: 1975 -- The Painter: 1976 -- The Broken Hearts: 1978 -- The Hunt: 1983 -- Fate: 1990 -- The Break: 1995 -- The Prisoner: 1998 -- Myths and Legends: 2001 -- Acknowledgments -- About the Author. adult Chris Whitaker. n-us-mo Missing persons Fiction Serial murderers Fiction City and town life Fiction Missouri Fiction 9780593798874 2023051951 231106 20241001110617.0 1409679461
