Gone Missing

Gone Missing is a suspenseful, darkly comic mystery about family, loyalty, and the dangerous games people play when money-and survival-are on the line.

It's Halloween weekend, 1998, and a well-to-do, somewhat shady businessman has vanished.

When Jada Moray returns to her brother's secluded lakeside estate in the northern Minnesota woods, she expects an awkward family weekend-not a mystery steeped in old money, buried grudges, and a house that feels like it's listening. Her brother, Peter Ups-wealthy, secretive, and difficult to read-has been missing for six weeks. In his absence, his anxious butler, Gibbs, follows Peter's unsettling instructions and summons a small group of guests: family, friends, and business associates, each arriving with their own history, secrets, and reasons for showing up.

As the weekend deepens and the storm-dark lake presses in, the gathering turns volatile. Then, out of nowhere, an extortionist trying to cover his tracks in a prison escape demands an impromptu masquerade party. With every guest disguised in an outlandish costume, the mansion becomes a stage for greed, betrayal, and a trap that's been carefully laid.

But in a place where masks are worn for more than fun, nothing is what it seems-and the question isn't just where is Peter Ups?

It's: who benefits most from his disappearance?

Darkly funny, twist-heavy, and charged with theatrical flair, Gone Missing pulls you through secrets and schemes toward a final reveal that turns the entire weekend-and everyone in it-inside out.
