This book is another angle on the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" theme. Greg Garrett is the newly promoted regional director of a Midwest hotel chain. A job that has caused friction with his wife Janie, since it involves major travel and takes him away from his wife, his eight-year-old daughter Becky and six-month-old son Matthew for long periods of time. The story kicks off as Greg returns from his latest business trip to find his house empty. What is strange is that the family car is still in the garage and his wife's purse is still in the house. The local sheriff is not much help when Greg attempts to obtain help finding his missing family, passing it off as a domestic dispute issue. Soon more people in the town of Engles, IN start to go missing and Greg seems to be the only one noticing strange events around the disappearances until he joins up with Susan whose brother has also gone missing and eventually Zeke an overweight independent investigator who makes a hobby out of looking into fringe events for his blog. Their investigations turn up strange environmental phenomenon associated with the disappearances and soon the three will be in more danger than they ever could have imagined when the missing begin to return. The story is a well-written fast paced read, comparable to something written by Dean Koontz and with an ending the reader might not expect.
