Walker lives the dream life. He's at the helm of a thriving company in New Mexico and his wife, the wealthy and beautiful Sarah, is raising their three wonderful children. And yet, he can't stand his life. A slave to family and business obligations, he can feel his time slipping away. There's only one solution: escape. Walker is going to fake his own death so as to spare his loved ones.
Unfortunately for him, Nick Shepherd, an eminent detective specialized in missing person investigations, is assigned to the case and becomes convinced that Walker is still alive. There ensues a fascinating game of cat and mouse between the two men, a race in which freedom, honor, and Sarah's love are at stakes.
The Man Who Vanished is at once a tale of adventure and a reflection on the frailty of human success.
