Gone with the Sun: The Second and Expanded Edition (The Mysteries of Just Another John Smith Book 1)

About

On April 8th, 2024, the world went dark. When the light returned, Genesis Owens was gone.

During the total solar eclipse, Genesis disappears without a trace. Despite a federal investigation, the leads dry up and the case grows cold. Six months later, eighteen-year-old John Smith arrives in Little Rock, Arkansas. Haunted by his own past and struggling to establish an identity beyond his remarkably common name, John joins the Noble Detective Agency (NDA).

Eager to prove his worth, John takes on the forgotten Owens case. But what begins as a search for a missing girl quickly spirals into a high-stakes conspiracy. John soon discovers that some secrets were meant to stay in the shadows—and he has uncovered something far more dangerous than he ever imagined.

Perfect for fans of coming-of-age mysteries with unique characters.
