Opis

Ian Ferguson awakes in a strange bedroom with no clue where he is or memory how he got there. He is not alone in his predicament. Over the span of a month, middle-age African-American men are vanishing in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. Law enforcement is treating the bizarre disappearances as a joke instead of labeling them a kidnapping. It's not because the victims are black. Statistics show adult men are not kidnapped unless robbery is involved. There's no ransom demand. Jackie Trumpleton cancels a dream vacation to South Africa with four women she has known twenty plus years and invites them to DC amid the chaos. The women have an unusual relationship. They interact only during annual vacations and abide by an informal Omerta since the vacations are consumed with drinking champagne nonstop, sharing secrets, and exploring sexual adventures. "The Missing Five" is an adult mystery fiction that chronicles the men's lives and disappearance, and narrates the storytelling episodes of the women. Many secrets are uncovered. Unleashing one solves the mystery and blows the case wide open. Everyone is shocked, except the perpetrator who wears an elaborate mask."
