{"product_id":"2940158003073","title":"Vanished","description":"In the dismal heat of summer in the South, a predator lurks.  No, it's not a wild animal, but a person with malicious intent.  Preying on the innocence of youth and inexperience.  Methodically snatching up the youth for his personal use.  Breaking them down, slowly, methodically, as is done by some of the world's most clandestine agencies such as the CIA from which he and his friend are retired operatives.  The questions and the answers hang like the mosquitoes in the air on a humid day.  The whole area is on alert.  The local police scour the entire area looking for anything that might lead to the location of the abductees and the identity of the predator stalking them.  Sometimes the most advanced technology we  may have can't provide answers to the simplest of questions.  Sometimes, things like strands of clothing, remains of hair, or even skin that DNA should be able to be extracted from, don't provide the answers we think they might.  Thus not leading investigators to the conclusions and areas they think that the evidence should be taking them.  Then where should they head?  Without forensic evidence providing answers, where do the authorities look for the correct answers?  What is known, is that young girls and women are being abducted and there aren't any leads providing answers as to where they may have gone or, if they were being abducted, who was doing it?  But they do know one thing and that is something is array in the area and it isn't just the way the hurricane winds are blowing.\u003cbr\u003eIs the person doing these horrible things a local or are they from out of town?  Does the perpetrator of these horrible acts have experience with the techniques being used to 'reprogram' his new captives?  Will he keep them, let them go, or dispose of them in other ways?  Where were the techniques used by the perpetrator learned, the military, CIA, black ops, or another government agency?  Will the perpetrator be brought to justice, be allowed to continue with his actions or will he elude capture?  All of these questions will soon be answered through the chapters of this book.\u003cbr\u003eYou'll read about tales of kidnapping, murder, escape, brainwashing, amnesia., and true unrelenting love of a parent.  All of a sudden the kidnappings stop, but for what reason?  Has he brainwashed a 'harem' and settled down in a life of leisure, or was he dealt with an act of justice in the South called 'Holler Justice\".  A form of justice that is exacted by friends or family of the victims or vigilantes that apprehend the guilty party and harm and, in some cases, kill the perpetrator.","brand":"Paul Krokus, Jr.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176414036208,"sku":"2940158003073","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158003073_p0.jpg?v=1764107691","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158003073","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
