“Page-turning adventure and escapist fun. Finder’s strengths as a novelist, certainly on display in this latest narrative, are his profound understanding of espionage and his dead-on depictions of the cut-throat rivalries inside the landscape of corporate America.”
“The real mystery here is how Finder found the energy or the time to craft a plot with so many layers and twists...When you end [VANISHED], you will be pleased that Nick promises to return.”
“A well-written story which will keep you guessing.”
“VANISHED is not only the best thriller of the summer, it’s a strong candidate for the best of the year...It’s the thrills in VANISHED that will get your blood pumping, but it’s the emotions in it that will touch your heart. ”
“Considering that this was the first time I've ever read anything by Joseph Finder and it was a random choice based on the cover, I found myself pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the story. I'll be on the lookout for more stories by Finder.”
“For Finder, corporate politics are as lethal as international spy rings. Maybe even more so. In VANISHED, Finder launches his first series, keeping the basics that have made his eight stand-alone books best-sellers while expounding on character development and multilayered plots. Nick Heller is a worthy hero...”
“This devilishly plotted thriller is so engrossing that you may not even mind when your own life is stalled in traffic.”
“From page 1, the story speeds along at a pace that kept me turning pages...I only wonder how Finder will top this effort.”
“VANISHED has catapulted Joseph Finder into my must read category. A terrific book with terrific characters and I love the lighthearted, sometimes funny, writing style.”
“Unexpected twists and suspense including an astonishing turn in the final pages...Joseph Finder is one of my favorite authors. I read VANISHED in one night. Don't miss reading this book!!!”
“A page turner with solid writing and a strong plot that certainly rivals today’s movie thrillers.”
“Financial thriller whiz Joe Finder enters new territory with his latest, VANISHED by introducing his first series character and moving into the action genre. The result is a solid success in all respects...He has fully and seamlessly entered the world of Lee Child and James Rollins. A rousing, lightning-paced thriller from the first page to the last. ”
“...Joseph Finder's new novel is a humdinger....a thriller to enjoy for its Washington locales, convincing familiarity with cutting-edge spy gadgetry, and taut action scenes.”
“This book is stunning! ...hard to put down, and you will be glued to the pages until it is over! Good news! This is the first in a series of Nick Heller books. ”
“Author Joseph Finder is a keeper. The reason being he writes such fast paced thrillers that the reader can barely keep up with the plot as it races from page to page. His new book VANISHED is one of his best...being this anxious and this enthralled is a fine form of reading entertainment.”
“VANISHED...is a scary, impossible-to-put-down paranoid thriller cut from the same cloth as those great 1970s Watergate era thrillers written by Robert Ludlum and classic movies such as “Three Days of the Condor.”... Finder will be giving Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series a run for its money... I can’t wait to read Nick’s second adventure.”
“VANISHED is well worth your time….Thrillers and spy novels should be filled with intrigue and clever plot twists. Unpredictable yet believable. Fast paced but with an attention to detail creating credible story lines. Finder always delivers.”
“VANISHED has the familiar trappings of a Finder novel, including well-crafted characters, lots of unpredictable plot twists and a furious pace.”
“Even though I'd been warned that everyone who'd read it did so in one sitting, I cracked the cover at 10 p.m., figuring yeah, yeah, one sitting, right. When I passed out at 4 a.m., I was thinking, boy, if I could just keep my eyes opened long enough to finish this!”
“Finder has been a marvel from the very start of his writing career, and VANISHED takes him to new heights. It is a sharp, intricate thriller, shot through with memorable characters both good and bad, and wonderfully told from beginning to end...The fact that VANISHED is the first in a series of Heller books will surely make it a mandatory addition to the "must read" lists of thriller readers everywhere.”
