Dayton, OH, April 01, 2015 --(PR.com)-- "The Vanishing Wife" by Barry Finlay receives Medalist Honors in the Mystery-Thriller e-book category of the 2014 New Apple Book Awards for Excellence in Independent Publishing.

Book Synopsis
Mild-mannered accountant Mason Seaforth is living a quiet, perfect life with his wife Sami in the sleepy community of Gulfport, Florida. At least it’s quiet and perfect until Sami vanishes during the night of their twentieth wedding anniversary, plunging Mason into a new life that he could not possibly have imagined. Mason finds himself in a dark world of deception and murder and his heart-stopping race to find out what happened to his wife forces him to exchange his spreadsheets for a Glock 17. And just when he thinks his situation can’t get any worse, he finds out his daughter’s life is also in danger. With the help of Sami’s irrepressible close friend Marcie Kane, he follows a trail that leads them from Florida to Canada’s capital of Ottawa where he is required to make choices. Each choice is more dangerous to him and his family than the last - the wrong one will be disastrous. The only thing that will awaken Mason from this nightmare is to determine what has happened to his beloved Sami, and uncover the secret that she has been hiding throughout their marriage.
