From #1 Best Selling Author T.R. Richardson comes a forensic thriller, inspired by real events, that explores the terrifying cost of silence. In the heart of the Ozarks, Buckles, Missouri, thrives on a paradox: big-city crime protected by small-town politics. It is a town of grand resorts, patriotic tribute bands, and a sixty-foot statue of Christ that looms over the ridge-a place where the "perfume of wealth" masks a sharp, industrial sting. A SYSTEM OF EXCELLENCE Sidney David is beginning to notice the anomalies. The way the most influential families own the pauses between every spoken word. The private auctions where "singular" lots are traded in waiting darkness. And the medical protocols that don't quite align with the human anatomy they claim to treat. A MOSAIC OF BETRAYAL Inspired by real events and systemic patterns, The Moon is Not the Moon is an essential installment in the Voices of the Vanished series. While it stands alone as a gripping mystery, it provides the chilling foundation for the medical nightmare explored in Harvesting Ghosts. Here, the hunt isn't just for a missing child-it's for the truth behind a town that has turned its own people into harvestable assets. THE TAGLINE "First, no harm. Then, no trace."
