Publisher's summary

The town of Mecklenburg has soured. People are missing, and evil is running amuck in this pause-resisting nightmare.

While investigating an incident 7,000 feet deep inside the Duke Mining copper mine, Tom Porter stumbles across a doorway that transports him into a parallel world of hell. He wakes up hairless, bruised, and naked in a wasteland controlled by an insidious faction of people, led by Chief Sanders, Trashman, and The Preacher.

Tom journeys through this hell while searching for a way home as insidious men fight to stop him.

Follow Walter Pauls, Tom Porter, Charlotte Kane - her dog, Bran - and others as they discover supernatural forces eating the soul of this town. Follow Detective McKinney as he attempts to solve the mystery of the dead, the murders, and "The Missing."

This is a haunting tale of spilled blood in a town that God has forsaken. Why are people missing, and why do so many bad things happen in Mecklenburg?

First came Under the Dome, then came Desperation. Now there's The Missing by Olin Lester, to make you think twice about visiting small towns!

Awesome!

Scary and awesome! Not for the faint of heart! Really great story, well developed characters, and a fictitious city with a history of witches. What else does one need? If this is Olin’s first book, all I can say is wow! There’s a lot more good stuff to come! Can’t wait!

Work of art

Lester’s writing is exhilarating and leaves me exited to listen to the story during my long drives. Mason’s narration of the book is perfect. Can’t wait for book 2!

Gripping and exciting!

Olin paints a wild story gripped with tension and horror as you experience the hell that plagues Mecklenburg. Journey deep into the black as you explore the painful world of The Missing.

I strongly recommend this book, I can’t wait to read/ hear more from Olin Lester.

Wow! This book is fantastic!

I don’t normally listen/read horror books but this one came highly recommended. Typically I lose interest and my mind wonders off. But not this time! I literally felt like I was there with these characters. I could envision what each character looked like, each scene, each building, the woods, the lakes, the rain. It just felt like I was right there with them. And what a great job bringing the emotions into it. I am generally not a crier but found myself in full on tears more than once. This book is incredible and I can’t wait to read more from Olin Lester! Well done!!

Great Book!!

I love this author! I am excited for book 2. My fiancé and I drove from Charlotte to Delaware and listened from beginning to end. The narrator is the reason I listen to audiobooks. This narrator did a FANTASTIC job. This is a rollercoaster of thrill and emotions. We both highly recommend this book!!
