Washington, D.C.
Lauren Heller's husband disappeared at a few minutes after ten thirty on a rainy evening. They were walking to their car after dinner at his favorite Japanese restaurant, on Thirty-third Street in Georgetown. Roger, a serious sushi connoisseur, considered Oji-San the best, most authentic place in all of D.C. Lauren didn't care one way or another. Raw fish was raw fish, she thought: pretty, but inedible. But Roger - the Mussolini of maki, the Stalin of sashimi - never settled for less than the best. "Hey, I married you, right?" he pointed out on the way over, and how was she supposed to argue with that? She was grateful they were finally having a date night. They hadn't had one in almost three years.
Vanished by Joseph Finder (Nick Heller #1)
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Roger swiveled suddenly, alerted by the sound. He shouted, "Lauren!" Raced back across the street. "What the hell are you doing to her?" he screamed. "Why her?"

Sounds good! I like the setting, too.

I have heard good buzz about this author. I would definitely keep reading and am adding this to my wishlist--thanks!
I love sushi. I also love how the author puts you there in the setting. Great writing, and teaser!
This looks interesting! I'd love to hear what you think of it.
This sounds like a real page-turner. Great teaser.
My Teaser is from NOT THE MARRYING KIND.
Good teaser, makes me want to read more!
I read Paranoia by this author last year and liked it. I would keep reading! I hope you are enjoying it.
Sounds like lots of action. Here's Mine
I don't read many thrillers but this sounds like one I'd be glad I'd read! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds really good, Nise' -- definitely something I would read! Mine: Clobbered by Camembert
What happened to this guy? I get the impression he was having a good time with his wife. Someone must have taken him.
the beginning doesn't grab me and I can tell you for certain that I don't like sushi :)
Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it. Hope you are enjoying your new little one.
I love books set in DC!
I thought that this is how you start a mystery - I particularly like the first sentence.
