Detective Mitchell Landry searches for the rhyme, reason, and meaning behind each of these disappearances by investigating their husbands and trying to find the missing connections between them. But are there connections to be made, or are these random similarities merely coincidences? Who had the means, motive, and opportunity to steal the wives of Portsmouth? What happened to them, and more importantly, why? As Detective Landry delves deeper into the lives of these women, he tries to makes sense of his own wife's suicide, and wonders why some questions simply have no answer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125852815600,"sku":"9781466834224","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466834224_p0.jpg?v=1763685425","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466834224","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
