Random tells the gripping story of the disappearance of 14-year-old Eleanor McKenna, the precocious and accomplished only child of a prominent family in Minneapolis. Every effort to find Eleanor is met with failure. Days go by, and her family becomes desperate. She is gone.

Time passes. The family’s desperation turns to resignation. But Ezekiel Orendel refuses to let go. His search for some trace of Eleanor leads him into a dark world where sinister forces clash for wealth and power. It is a world where he finds his own life threatened. It is a world from which many children never return. Who is Ezekiel Orendel? Will he succeed where others fail? Will he bring Eleanor home? Or will she be lost forever?

Random is a taut and suspenseful thriller that answers these questions and tells the story of the anguish that all too frequently confronts real people and real families. Many who go missing are never found, never reunited, never able to resume the lives that should have been theirs. Eleanor McKenna’s riveting story could easily be theirs.
