"The Missing" is not exactly a true sequel to Sarah Langan's first book "The Keeper" though it does make reference to events that happened in that book. I really liked this book, more than "The Keeper" and that was a good book. I am looking forward to seeing what she does next.

This is from the back of the book: " A remote and affluent Maine community, Corpus Christi was untouched by the enviormental catastrophe that destroyed the neighboring blue-collar town of Bedford. But all that will change in a heartbeat... The nightmare is awakened when third-grade schoolteacher Lois Larkin takes the children on a field trip to Bedford. There in the abandoned woods, a small cruel boy unearths an ancient horror-a contagious plague that transforms its victims into something violent, hungry...and inhuman. The long, dark night is just beginning. And all hope must die as the contagion feeds-for the malevolence will not rest until it has dvoured every living soul in Corpus Christi...and beyond."
