A gripping psychological thriller that exposes the dark underbelly of the adoption system and asks: What happens when the people meant to protect children become their greatest threat?
FBI profiler Agent Kate Morrison has built her career on finding the missing, driven by the one case she couldn't solve—her sister Sarah's mysterious disappearance fifteen years ago. When a new series of kidnappings follows the exact same chilling pattern, Kate realizes the killer has returned. Each victim is a young adopted woman who vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a single white rose and cryptic coordinates that lead to empty spaces.
But this isn't the work of a typical predator. As Kate digs deeper, she uncovers a shocking truth: all the victims share a dark connection to Meridian Family Services, the same adoption agency that placed both her sister and her own adopted daughter, Emma. What begins as a missing persons investigation explodes into something far more sinister—a systematic conspiracy involving adoption fraud, child trafficking, and corruption that reaches into the highest levels of federal law enforcement.
When Emma receives her own white rose, the case becomes devastatingly personal. Kate must race against time to decode a fifteen-year-old conspiracy while confronting painful truths about her own family's involvement in systematic corruption. The coordinates don't just lead to crime scenes—they lead to a reckoning with institutional failure that has destroyed hundreds of families while protecting the very officials sworn to serve justice.
The Vanishing Act is a complex, morally ambiguous thriller that challenges readers to question the nature of justice itself. When legal systems fail to protect the innocent, how far is too far in the pursuit of accountability? Kate Morrison must navigate a labyrinth of lies, corruption, and family secrets to save her daughter—but the truth she uncovers will force her to choose between protecting her family and exposing a conspiracy that threatens children worldwide.
