Books like Bad man by Dathan Kahn Auerbach
Ben Auerbach’s brother Eric vanished when he was three, leaving a family in disarray and a brother who refuses to give up. Five years later, Ben, now twenty, takes a night‑shift at the only storefront that once "blinked" Eric out of existence. The Florida Panhandle’s humid air hangs heavy over the warehouse, where graffiti‑stained machinery seems almost alive. As Ben searches the aisles and interrogates employees, he senses a deeper mystery at work—one that may explain why Eric slipped away and why Ben’s search seems futile. Yet the relentless pursuit keeps him moving forward, even as his stepmother mourns the brother she never knew and his father can no longer afford the house.
