The Missing Hour (Paperback)

Paperback. A woman disappears for sixty minutes.The system decides it doesn't matter.When Laura Henson vanishes from a suburban shopping plaza, the evidence suggests nothing dramatic-no struggle, no witnesses, no crime that fits cleanly into a report.Detective Mara Ellison notices something else.Laura's phone goes silent for exactly one hour.Then it reconnects-deliberately.As Mara pushes past procedural limits to understand what happened in that missing time, she uncovers a quieter truth: some disappearances aren't accidents or acts of violence. They're interruptions-managed, controlled, and designed to leave no trace.The Missing Hour is a grounded crime novella about institutional power, professional risk, and the cost of noticing what others are relieved to ignore.Because sometimes justice doesn't fail.It's redirected.
