Missing

Karin Alvtegen

Anna Paterson

When a serial killer strikes, a homeless woman finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and framed for horrifying murders that she didn’t commit. On the run and living on her wits, can she avoid capture long enough to prove her innocence?

Reviews of Missing

'Alvtegen powerfully evokes Sibylla's sense of persecution and conveys what it means to live as an outsider, without ever compromising this compulsive thriller.' Metro
