"A thriller, detective story, and fantasy all in one . . . Unique, a winner!"--Dean Koontz What happens when someone vanishes without a trace? Ian Kennedy always had a penchant for stories about missing people--and a knack for finding them. Now a sought-after private investigator, Ian faces a case he fears he cannot solve . . . and one he knows he must. Laura Lensky's stunning twenty-one-year-old daughter, Peri, has been missing for over two years. But when Ian learns the details of her disappearance, he discovers eerie parallels to an obscure Celtic myth and the haunting case that launched his career--a success he's never fully been able to explain. Though Ian suspects that Peri chose to vanish, he takes on the search. What follows leads him and those who care for Peri into the Highlands of Scotland, as the unknowns of the past and present merge in the case--and in their lives. Praise for The Mysteries "Lisa Tuttle never disappoints. . . . Richly imagined and beautifully written, The Mysteries lingers in the mind long after the last page is turned."--George R. R. Martin "A remarkable piece of work . . . Successfully balancing the miraculous and the mundane, The Mysteries offers a variety of unexpected pleasures and marks the overdue return of a stylish, distinctive storyteller."--Washington Post Book World "Superlative dark fantasy . . . Tuttle has total command of setting, style and her folklore sources."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
