The book covers the search, Cody’s youthful experiences growing up in Alaska, and past family trips to exotic locations. It takes readers into remote Costa Rica and the world of drug smugglers and illegal miners, as well as good-hearted locals who tried to help. Roman and his wife consulted private investigators, investigated tips from psychics, and engaged a “documentary” producer. While the television cameras helped focus attention on the case, they also warped the story into a sensational reality-TV murder mystery. It is a story of frustration and parents doing everything possible to find a missing child. This book is the story of a family’s crisis. It also portrays their appreciation for the natural world. Roman is candid in this account, admitting to doubts, faults, and feelings of guilt. I had not seen any of the media coverage, so the content was new to me. I found it riveting, moving, and tragic. *Cody preferred to be called by his middle name, Roman. I am referring to him as Cody just to distinguish him from his father, also called Roman.
