Praise for They’re Gone:
“[Barres] has written a hard-boiled crime thriller in which the

commentary.”

"A stunning, dark, evocative thriller."

Secrets
“They're Gone is a powerful, gritty mystery that firmly establishes
E.A. Barres as a voice to be reckoned with in the genre. Barres
deftly weaves two very different stories together to create one
compulsively readable and defiantly of-the-moment whodunit that
lingers with you long after you’ve read the last page.”
—Alex Segura, acclaimed author of the Pete Fernandez
series

put down!”
—Susan Crawford, bestselling author of The Pocket Wife and The
Other Widow
“A relentless, pulse-pounding thriller that showcases E.A. Barres’s
talent for injecting gritty crime stories with sympathetic,
emotionally complex characters and sharp black humor. Barres
skillfully combines a dark story about corruption, greed, and
violence with an emotional arc about grief, resilience, and the
lengths a person will go to protect their family—all while keeping
the pace swift and the dialogue witty.”
—Kathleen Barber, author of Truth Be Told
“Intense, gritty and absolutely riveting, E.A. Barres’s perfectly
constructed plot unfolds with the thoughtful precision and menace
of a cat burglar. They’re Gone seamlessly blends heart-pounding
action with searing social commentary. This thriller has a
deliciously dark wit that makes for an unforgettable
read.
—Hilary Davidson, bestselling author of One Small Sacrifice
