Now, he's managed to find work at the United States Postal Service's Mail Recovery Center, which he hopes will prove an invaluable tool in his investigation. With the help of his coworker, Sylvia-a kleptomaniac artist-Ben learns the ins and outs of a warehouse full of lost mail, and explores every lead in his son's case. But when it all points towards the monstrous Leonard Moscovich, Ben fears the worst.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor each purchase of \u003ci\u003eUndeliverable\u003c\/i\u003e, a $1 donation is made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to help fund the efforts to bring missing kids home.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat people are saying about \u003ci\u003eUndeliverable\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEngaging, inventive and full of feeling, Demarest's debut engagingly addresses what we lose when we lose someone we love. - \u003ci\u003eKirkus Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUndeliverable\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a range of pleasures to its readers: a unique and fascinating setting, an urgent mystery, a cast of oddball characters, sharp and witty dialogue.
