A missing girl. A rising storm. A race against time you can't outrun.

From award-winning author Michael Lister comes a gripping follow-up to DOUBLE EXPOSURE -- a high-stakes literary thriller where every minute counts and every choice carries consequences.

She vanished without a trace
Sixteen-year-old Shelby Emma Summers disappears from her mother's remote lodge along the Apalachicola River.

No witnesses.
No clear evidence.
No time.

Did she run?
Was she taken?
Is she with her boyfriend... or in far worse danger?

The clock is ticking -- and the storm is coming
Out in the Gulf, a massive hurricane is building -- fast, violent, unstoppable.

As the search intensifies, roads flood.
Power fails.
Communications collapse.

Soon, there will be no way in.
No way out.

And no way to save her.

A relentless search through a wild and unforgiving landscape
From backwoods roads to river swamps, from small-town secrets to life-and-death choices, SEPARATION ANXIETY delivers a twisting, pulse-pounding mystery set against the raw power of nature.

Every lead raises new questions.
Every answer comes too late.
Every step brings them closer to the truth -- and deeper into danger.

More than a thriller -- an emotional gut punch
At its core, this is a story of love, fear, and the fragile bonds that hold us together -- and tear us apart.

What would you risk to find someone you love?
How far would you go before it's too late?

Lyrical. Atmospheric. Unforgettable.
Told in Michael Lister's signature style -- poetic, evocative, and muscular -- this is a literary thriller that delivers both heart-pounding suspense and emotional depth.
