When wealthy businessman Robert Maxwell vanishes without a trace, Detective Chief Inspector John Hanlon is called in to investigate. At first glance, it seems like a straightforward missing person's case. But as Hanlon delves deeper, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies that threaten to derail his investigation.

Maxwell's wife, Sarah, is evasive and uncooperative. She claims that her husband left on a business trip, but Hanlon soon discovers that there is no evidence to support her story. As he digs further, Hanlon learns that Maxwell was deeply in debt and had recently been involved in a number of risky business ventures.

Hanlon begins to suspect that Maxwell's disappearance may not have been voluntary. He interviews Maxwell's business associates and employees, but no one seems to have any information about his whereabouts. The investigation takes a sinister turn when Hanlon discovers that Maxwell's life insurance policy was recently increased, and that Sarah is the primary beneficiary.

As Hanlon closes in on the truth, he realizes that Sarah is not who she seems. She has been leading a double life, and her involvement in her husband's disappearance is far more sinister than he could have ever imagined.

The Missing Husband is a gripping and suspenseful thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. DCI Hanlon is a complex and fascinating character, and his determination to solve the case is unwavering. The novel is full of twists and turns, and the ending is sure to surprise you.
