Thomas Eidson (born 1944) is an American author best known for his writing of The Last Ride, which was turned into a film directed by Ron Howard titled The Missing in 2003.
Thomas Eidson started out as a newspaper reporter in California and has been writing since high school, from a teleplay entitled The Miracle to profiles and features for hotel publications and airline in-flight magazines.
The passion for this historical era stems in part from deep family roots in Kansas, where his grandfather owned and ran a cattle ranch.
For his day job he works in public relations at Fidelity Investments in Boston.
