Reviews

"This is one of the better books I have ever read. It is hard to put down. It leaves you with a lot of questions as well as a sneak peak into that little corner of lost souls. since I can remember when this actually happened, I found it even more intriguing."-Mary Harder"Wingate gives brief but informing histories on various subjects that help give a back story to several subjects in this book. I highly recommend this book... I'm hoping that Wingate will soon have another book to write that will put an end to this fifty-year mystery."-Bill Crisp"This book is a favorite! It reveals a likely resolve to an unsolved mystery and offers a perfect explanation of why three young boys were never found in the nation's largest cave hunt. The book has peaked my interest in this story, in part because it happened close to where I grew up, to kids that were near my age. This is the sorta book that could easily evolve into a great movie. It's a real-life unsolved mystery. With any luck, this book could soon help discover the graves of three missing boys, who disappeared fifty-two years ago, potentially at the hands of a serial killer."-Mike Daak"Is this possible? Unbelievable possibilities! As a companion book to his previously released Lost Boys of Hannibal, author John Wingate skillfully considers the possibility that the boys did not die in a cave, but rather were murder victims of the infamous John Wayne Gacy. Wingate is contacted by three qualified psychics, unsolicited, and found their interpretations precisely alike. The realm of the unknown is described as well as it is possible to do, and it's relation to the Church and God evaluated by a Christian writer with opinions by various clergy. Truly a remarkable story, one which has believer and non-believer questioning their previously held beliefs. An outstanding work!"-Greg Miller
