A Parker McIntyre Novel

A U.S. Supreme Court justice vanishes during a solitary drive through the Virginia Highlands. Days later, a Tennessee congresswoman disappears without a trace. When a controversial Texas Supreme Court judge goes missing in Taos, New Mexico, it becomes clear these aren’t isolated events—but no one can explain how they’re connected.

The mystery turns darker when four college students vanish after a concert in West Virginia. One is later pulled from the Ohio River, brutally beaten and left for dead.

With no clear motive and the body count rising, Parker McIntyre and the investigators at MRO are thrust into a high-stakes race against time. As federal agencies and media pressure close in, the team follows a widening trail from West Virginia to Tennessee, Arizona, and Texas—uncovering a pattern that suggests these disappearances are part of something far more deliberate.

In this second installment of the Parker McIntyre series, The Art of Dying raises the stakes to a national level, where power offers no protection, innocence is irrelevant, and survival may come down to sheer luck.
