    About this ebook

    A city that never sleeps needs a detective with insomina...

    72 hours. The cops only look for missing adults after 72 hours.

    Three days for Nya Thales to turn up dead somewhere around the San Francisco Bay, if disgraced ex-cop Clarke Lantham can't find her first.

    Following a scant few traces from her past, Lantham dives headlong into a dark hole filled with biotech labs, activists, kink clubs, cyberpunks, and mercenaries.

    But from the moment he sets foot in Nya's world, Lantham's race against time turns into a run for his life. Blocked at all corners, framed for murder, and stalked by a shadowy figure willing to kill to keep Lantham from finding out who kidnapped Nya Thales, and why.

    "J. Daniel Sawyer gives us a PI for the new millennium, and a mystery so dark and complex you could lose a molar biting into it." --Seth Harwood, author of Young Junius

    "...a strangely beautiful noir for the future. And Then She Was Gone has all the history of the genre...packed with the trademark Sawyer intelligence." Philippa Ballantine, author of Geist

    "...the parody of noir that noir didn't see coming...And Then She Was Gone is full of snappy one-liners I'm dying to quote" --Gail Carriger, author of Soulless

    "...witty and pithy, with a storyline that keeps you engaged, this is a recommended read...one of the top reads of 2010..." --MotherLode Book Reviews

    J. Daniel Sawyer

    WHILE STAR WARS and STAR TREK seeded J. Daniel Sawyer's passion for the unknown, his childhood in academia gave him a deep love of history and an obsession with how the future emerges from the past. This obsession led him through adventures in the film industry, the music industry, venture capital firms in the startup culture of Silicon Valley, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the worlds that assemble themselves in his head. His travels with bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, and inventors led him eventually to a rural exile where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a pair of production companies that bring innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.
