A Cruise to Nowhere: My Search for Amy Lynn Bradley

In March 1998, the Bradley family—Ron, Iva, and their children, Amy and Brad—boarded the Rhapsody of the Seas for a week-long Caribbean cruise.

In the early hours of March 24, Amy Bradley—a pretty, athletic twenty-three-year-old—returned to the family's stateroom with Brad after dancing at the ship's nightclub. A few hours later, her father awoke to find her gone.

Did Amy fall or jump into the water? Did she leave the boat voluntarily when it docked at Curaçao? Was she smuggled off against her will and trafficked in one of the island's brothels? In a baffling case filled with false leads, rumors, and conflicting witness reports, the only certainty is that, nearly three decades later, the Bradleys are still looking for Amy.

Now, acclaimed investigative journalist James Renner provides the first definitive account of Amy's disappearance, enriched with his own personal narrative that explores themes of identity, loss, and the deeply human need to find meaning in tragedy.

With empathy and a keen eye, Renner interviews witnesses who speak on record for the first time, offering fascinating new theories, and explores a little-known side of Amy's life that may explain everything about her fate.
