Missing Persons by Steve Braunias is a compelling collection of twelve extraordinary tales of disappearance, showcasing the masterful true crime writing of New Zealand's award-winning author.

Within its pages, you will encounter the chilling story of former journalist Murray Mason, found dead in the Auckland Domain. Delve into the mysterious death of Socksay Chansy, discovered lifeless in a graveyard by the sea. Uncover the tragic disappearance of backpacker Grace Millane, who became the victim of public enemy number one, and ponder over the enduring enigma of the Lundy family murders.

These stories reveal the unsettling reality of how some New Zealanders vanish—the wrong person, at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
