Stolen
by Jason Pinter
This third Henry Parker

family's front porch five years after being kidnapped. Parker, a
young but seasoned New York Gazette reporter, snags an exclusive

to have no recollection of his missing years, and something he
absentmindedly says in the interview deeply rattles
Parker-convincing him there's a sinister undercurrent to this
feel-good story.

a powerhouse start.
