In the year 2000, private investigator Peter Andrassy, a native Hungarian and retired NYC detective, may abandon investigatory work. Since moving back to Budapest, he’s struggled to find new clients and believes technology has passed him by. Stephen Nagy, an American student attending an international business school in Budapest, tells Peter he met a stunning student from Britain named Samantha. Bold and confident, she’s everything that Stephen is not, and he thinks it might be love. But after their third date, she stopped attending class, and he’s desperate to know why.
Stephen tries to hire Peter, who is hesitant to take the case, worrying it may reveal skeletons from his past. Eventually, Peter agrees but quickly becomes frustrated by how little Stephen seems to know about the woman he claims to love. The case takes a turn when Peter realizes her disappearance may be connected with an infidelity case he is simultaneously working. Is Samantha the woman Stephen thinks she is? Peter may have to risk his life to find out.

Author Bio:
Welcome to my bio! Thanks for visiting. I’m an avid reader, event manager, father, public speaker, and author of the new novel Vanished from Budapest. I lived in Budapest as a younger man and have returned to visit multiple times. My love for the city shines in this opening novel. Readers will gain a connection to the city and culture without spending hours on a plane. Beyond reading six to eight books a month, I have completed several creative writing courses and I’m a member of multiple writing groups. I look for inspiration everywhere especially while studying and visiting diverse places and cultures. Whether jumping from a cliff in Hawaii, or hiking the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, I’m in heaven as long as my wife and four teenage boys are at my side.
