Some secrets don't disappear with time. They wait for someone to dig them up. More than twenty years after a young woman vanished in Boston, the demolition of an old printing plant reveals a horrifying discovery. Human remains buried beneath decades of silence threaten to expose a crime that several people believed would never come to light. For novelist Jim Hayes, the past is no longer safely behind him. Once known only as "Country" during a summer spent working in Boston, Jim has built an entirely different life in Charleston. He has a successful career, a family, and a reputation worth protecting. But the discovery in Massachusetts brings investigators dangerously close to uncovering the truth about his youth. As Boston detective Mick Sullivan follows the evidence, JD Mercer pursues troubling connections in Charleston. Meanwhile, Jim's wife, Roxanne, begins discovering that the man she married may be hiding far more than she ever imagined. Old photographs, conflicting memories, and long-buried relationships slowly assemble a picture of betrayal, violence, and carefully maintained lies. But knowing the truth and surviving its consequences are two very different things. The Missing Page, Book Two of The Deadliest Draft, is a psychological crime thriller about guilt, family, and the terrible price of keeping secrets.
