How far would you go to reclaim what was most important to you—to find the answers you need? Jake Bishop is living the dream—married to the love of his life, Blanca Vasquez, blessed with a newborn son, and well on his way to making partner at the most prestigious law firm in Chicago. As Jake makes a name for himself as a skillful civil litigator, Blanca’s archaeological background is a perfect fit for the Assistant Curator position at the Field Museum. But a perfect life can be derailed in a heartbeat. When Blanca dies tragically in what appears to be a random car accident, Jake struggles to maintain his law practice and is determined to create a new life for their son, Jonathan. Then, the unthinkable happens: Jonathan, the most important person in Jake’s life—and his only living link to Blanca—is abducted. Who would do this? Why? Was it a client looking for revenge? Could it be that the abduction is tied to Blanca’s death? While Jake embarks upon an arduous journey in search of his missing son, he must follow countless leads and suffer through the heartbreak of not knowing where Jonathan is—or if he is even still alive. When a credible-sounding stranger alleging to be the kidnapper gives Jake specific instructions that must be followed—or else, Jake feels compelled to comply and follows the winding and seemingly endless trail as he struggles to maintain his sanity. Author Stephen Kosa, himself an attorney, leads readers down a twisted path of seemingly dead ends and black market antiquities as Jake pursues any lead he can find—including some unexpected links from his past, even journeying to Peru in his quest for answers. But will any of this solve the mystery of Vanishing Trail: The Taking of Jonathan Bishop?
My Review:
This reminded me of the movie "Dragonfly", and I LOVED that movie. This was definitely a thriller. Who was in Peru? Was Jonathon safe? Will Jake ever be the same? His wife and best friend are dead, and his son has vanished. I liked that this story took places in different continents. The author seamlessly had his characters travel. The characters were so well written that I could feel Jake's depression and loss. In order to find his son Jake has to search everywhere. He thought of all different clues and leads. In the end it will take everything Jake has inside of him to move forward. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
