Just Another Missing Person

“Twisty and complex, with unexpected turns…and characters you really root for.”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

From the author of the Reese’s Book Club Pick and the New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time comes a new heart-stopping psychological thriller in which a missing-person case unravels deeper, darker secrets that lead a detective to an impossible moral choice.

Not everyone who is lost should be found…

Twenty-two-year-old Olivia has been missing for one day…and counting. She was last seen on CCTV, entering a dead-end alley. And not coming back out again.

Julia, the detective heading up the search for Olivia, thinks she knows what to expect. A desperate family, a ticking clock, and long hours away from her husband and daughter. But in this twisty police procedural, she has no idea just how close to home this case is going to get.

Because the criminal at the heart of the disappearance has something she never expected. His weapon isn’t a gun, or a knife: it’s a secret. Her worst one. And her family's safety depends on one thing: Julia must NOT find out what happened to Olivia - and must frame somebody else for her murder.

If you find her, you will lose everything. What would you do?

This clever and endlessly surprising suspense novel is laced with a clever look at family and motherhood, and cements Gillian McAllister as a major talent in the world of suspense and a master of creating ethical dilemmas that show just how murky the distinction between right and wrong can be.

Gillian McAllister

Gillian McAllister has a knack for pulling readers into stories where every decision matters, where the line between right and wrong isn't just blurred—it's constantly shifting. Known for her gripping psychological thrillers, McAllister takes her readers deep into the moral quandaries of her characters, questioning how far one would go to protect a loved one, or how the smallest action can spiral out of control.

Born in Sutton Coldfield, England, in 1985, McAllister's early life was far from the world of psychological thrillers. She studied English at the University of Birmingham before diving into law, a background that would later lend depth to her complex, often courtroom-inspired plots. But despite her legal career, writing was always in the background. It wasn't until 2017 that she took the plunge, publishing Everything But the Truth, a debut that quickly shot to bestseller status and introduced readers to her signature style—smart, suspenseful, and emotionally charged.

Since then, her novels, including The Choice, The Good Sister, and Wrong Place Wrong Time, have captivated readers around the world. The latter, in particular, became a New York Times bestseller and earned a coveted spot in Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club, solidifying McAllister’s place in the literary world. Her books are as much about the twists in the plot as they are about the choices her characters make, often set in ordinary lives where the extraordinary lurks just beneath the surface.

McAllister's work stands out not just for its clever plotting, but for the emotional complexity of her characters. She writes with an understanding of how relationships are tested under pressure, and how secrets—once revealed—can change everything. Her stories are not just thrillers; they're deep dives into the heart of human nature, examining what happens when the truth is no longer clear.

When she's not writing, McAllister lives in Birmingham, where she enjoys co-hosting the Honest Authors podcast. With every novel, she continues to explore the grey areas of life, proving that sometimes, the most gripping stories are the ones that leave us questioning what we might have done in the same situation.
