Encounter by Douglas Wickard is a powerful, tension building, compelling and exciting psychological masterpiece of a thriller from a maestro of page turning storytelling.Encounter will grab you and hold you captive from the emotionally charged beginning to the suspenseful and unexpected pulse quickening climax.In San Francisco, married men are arriving, but disappearing. Men who from the outside looking in seem to have it all, a wonderful family life, wealth and orderly and well organised lives but, they all have well hidden secrets, secrets that will ultimately change their lives and the lives of everyone close to them.Alex Kitas is one of the men who has disappeared so wife Rhonda reports him as missing.So we begin this artfully constructed storyline, meet many complex and fascinating characters, Inspector Vanessa Sanchez, profiler Harry Wright and newly graduated FBI agent Dan Hammer to name but a few and follow Douglas Wickard’s deftly woven plot to its ultimate conclusion.I absolutely loved this thriller, a “corker” of a read that I couldn't put down and was reading till the early hours.Douglas Wickard is a Tour de Force in the art of storytelling and Encounter comes highly recommended. I very much look forward to the author’s next novel.
