Description

Liberty Blair lives in Southern California and is about to write a novel when she learns her daughter, an only child, is missing. After filing a Missing Persons Report, she receives a call from a detective in a town just outside of Las Vegas, asking her to identify the body of a woman recently found in his jurisdiction. Detective John Hatchet has always been known for his backbone and determination. He's also known for having had more than his share of women. On the other hand, Liberty has a few problems of her own, like a bad case of misplaced emotions, sexuality, and lack of direction. This just might hinder Hatchet's resolve in unraveling the mystery. After all he's a detective, not a therapist. Liberty searches her daughter Kirsten's condo in Las Vegas for possible clues, and finds the names of three men scribbled on a piece of paper, with no idea as to who they are, or where they fit into Kirsten's life. That is, until Brad Sullivan walks into the police station with enough information to launch a sincere manhunt. But, why didn't Brad come forward sooner, knowing Kirsten has been missing for more than a month? And what does Tom Hill, Kirsten's lover since high school, have to do with her vanishing? One of these two men is related to a drug runner, but what does a drug runner have to do with Kirsten's disappearance?
