One Woman Missing, One Man’s Life Unraveling

When Leticia vanishes without a trace, those closest to her are left with more questions than answers.

His journey leads him through fragmented memories, shadowy encounters, and emotional entanglements that challenge his grip on reality. Is Leticia truly gone—or was she ever really known at all?

For Readers Who Crave Depth and Psychological Intrigue

Alan Johns crafts a thoughtful and unsettling exploration of human connection and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of absence. Looking for Leticia is ideal for fans of introspective literary fiction and slow-burn mysteries in the tradition of Ian McEwan and Haruki Murakami. A quiet but powerful novel that lingers long after the final page.
