Reed Farrel Coleman is the youngest of three boys and was raised in Sheepshead County. One day while walking from school, he had a shot and later on, saw a man lying flat on the ground, with a lethal wound on his stomach. This was the point in his life when he realized that people do get hurt. Upon joining high school, Coleman ventured into writing. Throughout his years, Coleman has worked at different jobs such as a car lease agent, baby food sales, restaurants as a cook and finally delivering home cooking oil. While attending The New School, Coleman met his wife to be Rosanne. Currently, they have two children, Dylan and Kaitlyn. Coleman never had at one point considered taking writing as a full-time career, until one day when he was attending a detective fiction class.

On December 8th, one Patrick Maloney, who is a purportedly popular college student decides to walk out from a Manhattan nightspot and into oblivion. It is no wonder that Patrick Maloney’s sudden disappearance registers on the radar screen.
