MISSING PERSONS

A dead colleague and a missing 14-year-old girl would be enough for Boulder Colorado psychiatrist Alan Gregory to contend with, but then his partner disappears in Las Vegas, a patient can't be found, and a body turns up in the forest. Golden Voice Dick Hill has no trouble being the overanalytic Gregory or maintaining control of a complicated plot. His is an easy narrative style. Voicing the various disturbed patients is a challenge well met. What stands out here, though, are the cameos--the overanxious real estate agent and a loony lady on the phone, for example--which stick with you after the case concludes.
