A missing child. Conspiracy theories. A race against time. These are topics that both Rick Mofina’s Someone Saw Something and Abir Mukherjee’s Hunted deal with. In Someone Saw Something, a child goes missing in Central Park, leading to a twisty thriller that unravels family secrets. In the action-packed thriller Hunted, two parents are thrown together in a race against time to stop a catastrophe that will derail the country’s future forever. Which begs the question- how far will a parent go for the love of their child?
