Missing Persons

Twelve extraordinary tales of disappearance: a collection of true crime writing by New Zealand's award-winning master of non-fiction.

Former journalist Murray Mason, found dead in the Auckland Domain; the mysterious death of Socksay Chansy, found dead in a graveyard by the sea; the tragic disappearance of backpacker Grace Millane, victim of public enemy #1; the enduring mystery of the Lundy family murders... These are stories about how some New Zealanders go missing - the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Steve Braunias is the author of 13 books, including Civilisation (winner of the 2013 NZ Post award for best book of non-fiction) and Missing Persons, which won the non-fiction prize at the 2023 Ngaio Marsh crime-writing awards. He is a staff writer at The New Zealand Herald, and serves as the literary editor at Newsroom.
