1985, Zebra
A man travelling through a small town has his teenage daughter disappear. He fiddles around town with the local widowed journalist and they, despite the lack of any evidence, assume a conspiracy. We look in on the various townfolk and occasionally pop in on the captured teen to remind us this is supposed to be horror.
Spins it's wheels pretty much the whole length before exposing the baddies which we already know about. I saw a review that described this as a watered down Richard Laymon tribute, and that kind of tracks.
Tame and aimless. One of Gorman's first books, and presumably improved later in his career.
