Synopsis:
Twenty years to the day after insisting aliens abducted his girlfriend, the number one suspect in her disappearance vanishes in the same spot outside Roswell, New Mexico. It’s up to an unlikely duo – Oliver, a disgraced and jaded FBI agent, and Amity, a rookie on the Roswell Police Department and the missing man’s niece – to follow the clues left behind in his journals and solve both missing persons cases. The closer Oliver and Amity get to the truth, a much more earthbound question arises: where do you turn when the love of your life does the unthinkable?
Review:
Twenty years after his girlfriend disappeared without a trace in Roswell, New Mexico, David Van Horn vanishes too. He disappeared on a military base, which made FBI agent Oliver Reagan travel there to investigate. He’s partnered with local officer Amity Rogers, who is the daughter of the chief of police. Amity has a personal connection to the case because Van was her uncle, the brother to her father who left her when she was a baby. Oliver and Amity must figure out what happened to Van, while also grappling with the trauma from their pasts.
This was such a great crime story! There was the question of what happened to Van and his girlfriend Jolene since they vanished from a town that is known for suspected alien abductions. Even though they were investigating for the police, there was always a question of the paranormal hanging over their heads. I was hooked on this story from the beginning, and I couldn’t put it down. There were a few heartbreaking scenes towards the end that did bring tears to my eyes.
I highly recommend checking out Running From Roswell!
