All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the smalltown of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing.

When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.

Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.

A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.

“All the Colors of the Dark is a hypnotic tale. . . . What is truly amazing about this novel is its ongoing sense of heart and tenacity as a small group of individuals makes their way through the world.”—The Anniston Star

“This novel grabbed me, held me and seeped into my soul in a way few books have. An instant modern classic.”—KMUW, NPR Kansas
