<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A man rages in his home on April 4, 1999, breaking furniture and dishes. A woman wants to leave him. You're not going anywhere, he tells her. Later that day, a police officer reports to the house and finds human tissue and organs in a bag left out for garbage. The person of interest in the case is a steelworker named Sam Pirrera, who lives in the house. But who is the victim? Sam's current estranged wife, Danielle? It is known that they had a stormy relationship; Sam had assaulted her as his coke addiction returned. Forensic detectives find traces of blood in the basement and then the entire corpse, dismembered, the parts hidden behind a false wall and packed in boxes, each of the parts wrapped and doused in gasoline. The victim's identity is discovered through prints to be a prostitute named Maggie Karer. The dismemberment, defensive mutilation, is calculated and deliberate, and the detectives wonder: Are there more victims?</p><p><br/>Following an investigation led by veteran homicide detective Peter Abi Rashed, who had once chased a young Sam Pirrera on the streets of Hamilton's east end many years before, <em>Vanished </em>takes us behind the scenes of a grisly real-life case and its shocking outcome.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jon Wells was born in Montreal, and raised in London, Ontario.
