Amazon Review
Scottish journalist Andrew O'Hagan's fascination with "missing persons" grew out of his childhood exposure to the fear engendered by unexplained disappearance. He begins his inquiry into this scarily prevalent phenomenon by describing his growing up in working-class Glasgow in the 1970s, his parents' worry over inner city violence, and the disappearance of a local boy that left the author with a deep unease. O'Hagan's investigation into the causes of such disappearances--abduction, willful walking away from life, teenage angst, parental abandonment--includes a detailed account of a famous British serial murder case in Gloucester. Through wrenching interviews with those hurt most, O'Hagan evokes a compassionate and disturbing empathy with the absent victims of modern alienation.
