VANISHED

By New York Times bestselling author

Joseph Finder

With his new suspense novel, VANISHED, the New York Times bestselling author Joseph Finder, who's been hailed as "the master of the modern thriller" and "the finest of the contemporary thriller novelists" introduces his first series hero - one who's sure to join the privileged ranks of such wildly popular thriller heroes as Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, and perhaps even Ian Fleming's James Bond.

He's Nick Heller, and he's no private eye. He's a "private spy," a high-powered international investigator with a private intelligence firm who's hired by CEOs and senators, by the CIA and foreign governments. He's a tough guy with a strong moral streak, a contrarian with a dry sense of humor. Raised in enormous wealth and privilege before his family abruptly lost it all, Nick is the son of a notorious Wall Street tycoon who's now serving 25 years in prison for fraud. A Yale dropout who rebelled against his father's world by enlisting in the Special Forces during the first Gulf war, and later serving in a covert capacity for the Defense Department, Nick has seen up close the ugly underside of Washington and Wall Street. He knows where the bodies are buried. Now he specializes in digging up secrets that powerful people would rather keep hidden. With breathtaking suspense and pulse-pounding action, right down to its final, astonishing twist, VANISHED is Joseph Finder at his very best.

Joseph Finder is the author of several critically acclaimed, bestselling thrillers including Paranoia, Killer Instinct, and Power Play. He is the winner of the International Thriller Writers' Best Novel award for Killer Instinct, the Barry Award for Company Man, and, for Paranoia, has been a finalist for the prestigious Ian Fleming Silver Dagger. His book High Crimes was the basis of the Morgan Freeman/Ashley Judd movie, and two other novels of his -- Paranoia and Killer Instinct - are in development for major motion pictures. A graduate of Yale and the Harvard Russian Research Center and a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, Finder draws upon his extensive training and contacts in the intelligence community for his deeply authentic, extraordinarily compelling, fiction.
