“Another creation from John Reizer with a fascinating twist!”

The Missing
Where death is just the beginning.
In the heart of a quiet town lies Evergreen Cemetery—an eerie resting place where no bodies are buried, only empty caskets, each holding a dark secret.
Beneath the surface of this unassuming plot of land is a twisted conspiracy engineered by Trucient Industries, a powerful biomedical corporation with a terrifying agenda.
Official Book Trailer
Trucient’s public mission statement is simple enough: freeze the dead and revive them in the future through cryonics. But the truth is far different. Behind the benevolent façade of preserving life, Trucient is secretly harvesting organs from the homeless, the forgotten, and society’s outcasts, selling them to the highest bidder. But that’s only the beginning. Their true, audacious goal is to map the human brain, digitize it, and create a fully conscious artificial intelligence that could reshape humanity.
When a young private investigator named Jessica Harris meets Billy Hayes, a groundskeeper at Evergreen who has witnessed mysterious happenings on the property, the two team up and discover a hidden operation; they soon become entangled in a web of lies and danger. Will they expose the truth—or become just another pair of missing souls claimed by Trucient’s vision for the future?
The Missing is a chilling tale of power, technology, and the price of immortality. Secrets lurk in the shadows, and no one is truly safe. Not even the dead!

So nice to hear you liked The Missing. Thanks for the feedback. If possible, please consider leaving a review on the platform where you purchased the book. 👍🙂

I read The Missing yesterday, cover to cover, while on a flight from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey. Brilliant writing from an up-and-coming author. You made my journey cross-country that much better. Thank you!
Erin Reid
Thank you so much for taking the time to read the book, Dan. 👍🙂 I greatly appreciate your feedback and am glad you enjoyed the story.
When it comes to evil corporations engaging in sinister activities, there appears to be no shortage of players involved. I’d be willing to bet that there are more than a few Trucient Industries out there in the realm.

Doctor, I like the way your mind works. Your novella is a quick and enjoyable read that held my attention throughout. That’s a well-executed little story.
Just curious: How many Trucient Industries do you think are actually out there in the world doing the things you’ve written about in The Missing?

I am happy to hear that you enjoyed The Missing, Heidi. I had a lot of fun writing this one because Evergreen Cemetery was a real graveyard located down the street where I grew up. That place brought back many childhood memories for me, especially on a few Halloween evenings. 🤣

I didn’t see that ending coming!
Wow! Nice little plot and story with a fantastic finish. It would also make a good movie, like Target List.

You made my evening, Rochelle! I so much appreciate your feedback on the story and, of course, I am delighted you found the book enjoyable. 😄
I don’t know what to say about your review. My experiences with that particular platform is that my ratings and reviews get swallowed up into a black hole. 🤣 But at this point in my writing career/hobby, I am starting to care less and less about that stuff. I do appreciate your effort though.

I loved The Missing, Dr. John, and left a lengthy review on Amazon last week that has yet to be published. I thought the ending was incredibly clever. One of your best stories yet!
