Last Seen on Nantucket: An Atmospheric Thriller of Disappearance and Dark Secrets (The Nantucket Files)

When thirty-two-year-old Katie Chapman vanishes during an early morning run, Nantucket detectives Tina Fisch and Rick Caton treat it as what it appears to be — a shocking but isolated abduction on an island that prides itself on safety and discretion. For Rick, the case is personal. After solving the suspicious death of a close family friend on the island the prior fall, he walked away from the FBI and returned to Nantucket — and to the police department that had forced him out a decade earlier. As the investigation unfolds, the detectives uncover disturbing clues that point to something far more sinister than a random crime. Beneath Nantucket’s postcard-perfect façade lies a pattern no one has recognized — a ritual that has quietly persisted for nearly four decades. And Katie may be its next sacrifice. People have disappeared before. Always quietly. Always without resolution. And always chosen — selected by someone who believes their sacrifice serves a purpose far beyond anything the outside world would understand. Katie is still alive.
