For a gripping thriller that keeps you turning pages, VANISHED is a great book. This is the opening salvo in Joseph Finder's series starring Nick Heller (see below). Nick was in Special Ops but has morphed into a highly competent investigator for an upscale DC company.
While Heller is finding about a billion dollars of US currency aboard an airplane, his nephew Gabe calls in a panic. His mother Lauren and Nick's brother, Roger Heller were at a Georgetown restaurant. Lauren was attacked when Roger went back for his keys at the restaurant. When Lauren awakens, Roger is gone -- without a trace.
Nick goes on the hunt for his estranged brother. The two men come from money -- lots of it -- in their youth. However their father went to jail for SEC violations for 30 years. Roger has always admired his father while Nick rejects his father's dishonesty.
There are plenty of twists and turns to satisfy the most jaded thriller reader. Joseph Finder writes great fight scenes, tense dialogue and snappy comebacks. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. However, it was not without flaws. It is easy to ignore the errors because this is such a cracking great story.
