Reading Update

(11) The Missing - Tim Gautreaux

This book tells the story of Sam, a war veteran whose past is filled with loss and pain.  Upon returning from the war, he takes a job as head of security for a department store.  When a young girl goes missing on his watch, he loses his job and is compelled by a mix of events and emotions to go looking for her.  His search takes him from riverboats to rough Bayou terrain on horseback.  The book's theme is redemption and Gautreaux weaves the tail together wonderfully.  I recommend it for its great storytelling.
