Zia aka Z, an American national, has his share of despair – his wife perished in 9/11, his only daughter died of a rare disease. His spirits lift joyously when he forms a fresh and intellectually stimulating friendship with a woman in an internet chat room. She claims to be a Russian graduate student short on funds to attend a conference. Z pays the travel costs. She promptly goes missing. Was he the victim of an internet scam? A frantic phone call from Pakistan with a desperate plea for help sends Z on a mission to rescue her, but he goes missing trying to prove she’s missing. Danger, deception, and a sub-culture Z looks down on are his tickets to personal redemption. Based upon a real life relationship. 4 countries, 2 strangers and 1 target where truth is an illusion, and those you love will be the first to go MISSING.

MISSING, Extraordinary Relation of Ordinary People
by Mian Mohsin Zia 
While the novel, MISSING, is based on extraordinary relationships involving ordinary people, the unveiling of ordinary people lead to relationships and events that literally kept me on the edge of my seat. The book has a slow start but builds as the story develops. The back and forth (present to history) is a little hard to follow but - as intricate layers from each character were removed, often without warning, I found myself being drawn deeper and deeper into the suspense.
As I came to know each character and understand the depth of their roles in this fascinating drama, I formed several logical conclusions that solved this tightly woven mysterious web. I must share, with mixed emotions, that not a single one of my expected finales came to pass.

“Z” knew what he’d been expecting was impossible, but wanted something to happen, that he knew wasn’t possible… I was totally on board with his thinking. There was absolutely no giving up now, or was there?
“Yes, I do, and no, I don’t.” It wasn't a trick answer, or was it?
“Have you seen a circus where the clown plays around and fools the audience — but nobody knows who’s behind that mask?” This was very apropos… I was shocked to learn who wore a mask and who didn’t.

MISSING is fast-passed, the dialog flows well and the depth draws the reader in pretty quickly. In the initial development stages, I was fairly confidant that this novel would follow typical scenario. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I came to know these characters, had my favorites and I would truly enjoy reading about the next chapter of their lives. In conclusion, I believe that this is an excellent novel that would make an ideal movie.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars HITS ALL THE MARKS!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020
Heart-broken Zia Qaiser, a Pakistani born American has been hit hard with the loss of several family members, including his beloved daughter. In an effort to console himself, he decides to learn several languages, something she had wanted to do. When Zia signs up on the internet to learn a language, he uses a username dedicated to his daughter. A similar username replies to his inquiry. Intrigued by this coincidence, Zia reaches out to the Russian woman, behind the name. Charmed by her silky voice, Zia and Lena Volkova hit it off as they share their language skills and discover a bond between them. Then Lena goes missing. Stunned by this development, Mian is frantic to find her. This sets off a chain of events will lead him on a mission and back to the very roots of his heritage.

Mian Mohsin Zia has a fresh voice that is easy to discern. I enjoyed this well-written book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow Start, Good Finish
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020
I was asked to review this book for the author. I found it a good read.

In our story, the main character named Z, for Zia, befriends a woman named Lena during a language exchange program. He wants to learn Russian; she wants to refine her English. They exchange more than language, but also their pain, their losses and their cultures, forming a deep friendship.

Then, suddenly, Lena goes missing. Z makes it his life’s mission to find her.

The premise of the book sounded fascinating. I love action-adventure stories. But it bogged down from the very beginning. Nothing except the friendship and the exchange of cultures seemed to be happening. I also found it difficult to follow the action because the author kept switching from the present (written in the present tense) to the past (written in the past tense). I found the constant switching difficult to follow.
The book was well-edited, to my delight. I love a well-written novel.

The main character was well developed, another point in the author’s favor. Sorry to say, Lena, the secondary character, was not as well developed, another frustrating point for me.

Toward the last, however, the novel finally picked up and drew me into it, which it had failed to do throughout the first two-thirds.

All-in-all, the book was a good read. Maybe most people won’t be turned off by its slow start.

Author Mian Mohsin Zia is back with another thriller that hangs you on the edge of your seat from start to finish!
This story talks about how far a true love can go when two people meet online to teach each other about a new language from their native country, how they both lost their families and what would they do if one goes missing! This tale goes to great lengths when true friendships get tested and how one goes missing for the truest love of all!

Must read from start to finish!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book which offers intrigue and engagement!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2020
This is not my usual choice of genre of novel, yet from the first page, I was drawn into the story most particularly by the characters. It is a story of intrigue and of relationships. At times I found myself tensely anticipating the outcome, needing to read on to discover the fate of the characters I'd engaged with.

The story moves from present and delves into the past, it offered me an insight into a very different world to my own - and yet the common threads of human nature are evident. 'Missing' is well worth a read.
