Teenagers John and Kaitlyn Rivers have a simple life in their 1870s outpost, running their family's general store for the surrounding communities and operating the stagecoach stop. But one stormy night, the stage's visit is anything but ordinary. Kidnappings, attacks, and shady characters change a usually boring existence into a fight for life.

Confronted with their past, John and Kaitlyn begin to unravel a mystery that left them survivors of not one, but two kidnapping attempts. Their questions uncover facts different than the truth they had always believed. Now they have to decide whom to trust - and the lives of those they care about depend on it.

The Vanishing Kidnapper follows John and Kaitlyn's harrowing adventures in the Wild West and their discovery that people are not always what they appear to be.
