Mason Gray, a former cop, has a knack for solving puzzles, but the corpse on his living room floor is a piece that doesn't fit.

As the number one suspect, Gray races to find the killer before the cops can pin it on him. But the cops aren't the only ones out to get him. Those responsible for the murder want him dead and will use any means necessary to put him in the ground...including vampire hit-men.

To survive, Gray must choose to go through the looking glass, wrestle with demons both figurative and literal, and put the bad guys in the ground first. But the price could be higher than he thought...the life of his best friend and mentor.

"This story combined a lot of elements that I love, It is a little bit gritty, a little bit dark, and a little bit humorous. "Every time a democrat was elected, he went out and bought another gun." Best line ever. That is my house, too, and it was hysterical to read that. I enjoyed the character development and Mr. Markham has put a lot of irons in the fire that will be enjoyable to watch come together. I can't wait to see where Mason goes. Is he a supernatural? Is he some kind of vampire hunter? Is he descended from Angels? I don't know, but am interested in finding out. He weaves a good story and the ONLY reason I didn't give a 5 star is because there were a few scenes that seemed a little rushed. I have never been on a bus in Chicago, but I bet is smells horrible or that there are random crazy people riding it. I like a lot of that kind of detail, where maybe others don't and that is just my preference. Bring on the next one."

• Part mystery thriller, part supernatural mystery, well mixed. Fast, entertaining read that slowly draws our hero into the world of the supernatural. A large part of it remains unknown --to him and us--with the hint of much more to come. Looking forward to the next Mason Gray case.
• Excellent mix of gritty urban fantasy and gumshoe noir. I enjoyed the action, and the characters. Can’t wait to read the next one!
• "Missing" is a riveting novel that my whole family enjoyed. The descriptions are so detailed it really is easy to get lost in the story and feel like you are there. It is a book you won't want to put down, you just have to find out what happens next. Can't wait for further books in this series!
• A unique and interesting take on an established genre with great twists. I read it in less than a day and hope there will be more!!
• Excellent mystery with a little twist of the unexpected.
• Fabulous read!!! Couldn't put it down and hope the author is working on the sequel
• William Markham’s "Missing" is a noir mystery right down to the chain-smoking, trench coat and fedora wearing, disgraced ex-cop turned PI looking for a missing dame… eh, woman. ;)
  
  Set in contemporary Chicago, the story isn’t all cliché, thankfully. Sure, when a dead guy shows up in Masson Gray’s home, he goes out on his own to solve the crime, finding himself mixed up in a missing person case along the way, that turns out to be linked to the murder. In good PI fashion he talks to people, follows suspicious characters, sets up dodgy meets in dodgy parts of the city and gets royally beaten up for his efforts. However, what really impressed me and set this apart from so many other similar stories was Gray’s willingness to work with the authorities, even knowing he’s prime material for Suspect #1. He calls the cops when he finds the body and reports the shooting when a sniper takes pot shots at him. He answers the lead detective’s questions without a belligerent attitude. It was nice and refreshing.
  
  The other aspect that stands out is the subtle introduction of the supernatural elements. The reader only becomes aware of it as Gray does and happily, Gray isn’t one to turn a blind eye to what he witnesses. He knows what he saw and goes looking, smartly, for possible explanations. He doesn’t find all the answers immediately, though, which leaves plenty of room in future instalments for him to get into trouble.
  
  If I had to quibble about something, it’s the lack of depth to the interpersonal relationships. Personally, I like to see characters interacting with each other, especially with the important relationships. A little bit more shown detail on Gray’s friendships would have really rounded out this story for me.
  
  Overall, the writing is smooth and the plot flows well, though there were the occasional areas where it got a little bogged in the mundane, but nothing to really hinder the reading. Recommended for people who like their noir with a twist.
