What Child is This? (John Jordan Mysteries)

Tiana Capri, a young pre-teen girl from a good family goes missing on Christmas Eve. She vanishes without a trace from her locked house while her mom and brother sleep nearby, leaving no clues and little hope of finding her alive. Can John Jordan find her before it's too late? For the first time in his career, he enlists the help of his daughter, Johanna Jordan, who is a friend of Tiana's and who might just hold the key to discovering what happened to Tiana and the sinister forces behind her disappearance. Can the two Jordans save Christmas for Tiana and her family or will tragedy strike their own family as they try to?

Auteur

New York Times bestselling and award-winning novelist, Michael Lister, is a native Floridian best known for his literary suspense thrillers DOUBLE EXPOSURE, BURNT OFFERINGS, and SEPARATION ANXIETY, as well as his two ongoing mystery series, the prison chaplain John Jordan "Blood" series (BLOOD SACRIFICE) and the hard-boiled, 1940s noir Jimmy "Soldier" Riley Series (THE BIG HELLO).

The Florida Book Review says that "Vintage Michael Lister is poetic prose, exquisitely set scenes, characters who are damaged and faulty" and Michael Koryta says, "If you like crime writing with depth, suspense, and sterling prose, you should be reading Michael Lister," while Publisher's Weekly adds, "Lister's hard-edged prose ranks with the best of contemporary noir fiction."

Michael grew up in North Florida near the Gulf of Mexico and the Apalachicola River in a small town world famous for tupelo honey.
