The Map of Missing People.
THIRTEEN PEOPLE DISAPPEARED.
THE MAP KNOWS WHERE THEY WENT.
AND NOW IT HAS HER NAME ON IT.
Twelve years ago, Nora Vance's seventeen-year-old brother, Eli, vanished from the quiet coastal town of Harrowmere.
His boat was found drifting at sea.
Eli was never found.
No body. No explanation. No second chance.
Until now.
Days after the death of Nora's mentor, a mysterious package arrives.
Inside is an old map of Harrowmere.
But this is no ordinary map.
Scattered across it are fourteen tiny lanterns.
Thirteen are gold.
One is black.
Each lantern carries the name of someone who disappeared.
Then Nora finds the name she has spent twelve years trying to forget.
ELI VANCE.
Beside it, someone has written two impossible words:
WENT DARK. ALIVE.
If Eli is alive...
where has he been for twelve years?
And why did someone want the entire town to believe he was dead?
Nora searches the map for answers and discovers something even stranger.
Under ultraviolet light, invisible paths emerge.
They connect the missing.
They cross forgotten buildings.
They lead beyond the town.
Across a tidal causeway that disappears beneath the sea.
Toward an abandoned lighthouse known as Hollow Light.
Someone has been hiding people.
Someone knows why.
And someone is watching Nora.
Then she discovers one final detail.
A fifteenth lantern.
It wasn't on the original map.
The ink is fresh.
Beside it is a name.
HER NAME.
NORA VANCE.
Below it is a date.
Six days from now.
Suddenly, Nora isn't investigating an old mystery.
She's racing toward her own disappearance.
Who created the map?
What does the black lantern mean?
Where are the missing people?
Why is someone terrified of Nora reaching the lighthouse?
And the most dangerous question of all...
WHAT DID ELI SEE THE NIGHT HE DISAPPEARED?
Every lantern hides a secret.
Every secret leads closer to Hollow Light.
And somewhere at the end of the map is a truth powerful enough to make people disappear.
Nora has six days to find it.
Because in Harrowmere, the missing aren't always dead.
Sometimes...
they're hiding.
THE MAP OF MISSING PEOPLE is a gripping atmospheric mystery thriller filled with secret clues, buried crimes, betrayal, a vanished brother, a forgotten lighthouse, and a puzzle where every answer unlocks an even darker question.
Follow the map.
Count the lanterns.
Find the missing.
And whatever you do...
DON'T LET YOUR NAME BECOME THE NEXT ONE.
