Mike Gibbons, who was conceived through artificial insemination, is just four when his single mother is killed in a car accident. After he is sent to live with his grandparents, Mike grows into a popular young high school athlete. Unfortunately, Mike is still angry about his mother's sudden death and not knowing his father's identity. When he enlists in the navy after graduation, he befriends Mary without any idea she is about to change his life forever. One night after Mike tells Mary about his family history, she encourages him to search for his donor father. Even as Mike's internal struggles continue and his release date from the navy quickly approaches, he decides to try to locate his father. But when his research leads him to believe he has finally found the man who gave him life, Mike is left to wonder whether this man is truly his father or whether there is something much darker lurking in the shadows, just waiting to be revealed. In this mystery thriller, a young man searching for his birth father is led down a dark path he never could have imagined.

Drawing on his degree in creative writing, for which he honed his ability to get to the point on page one, keep writing short, and find the story in everything, Richard Osborn has written a tense, taut thriller. His experience as an airline pilot also helped him craft this, his third book. The Mystery Box will hold the reader in suspense until the very last paragraph. You may think you can solve the mystery ahead of the last chapter. You may want to guess again.
