Seventeen-year-old Silver Rae Dawson vanished while babysitting for her neighbors. Fifteen years later a landscaping crew, hired by Adriana Valero, Deputy Investigator Cal Sheehan's ex-girlfriend, uncovers her shallow grave. With little new evidence and suspects who seem to have solid alibis, it isn't going to be easy for a fairly inexperienced investigator to solve a homicide gone cold. But what Cal lacks in experience he makes up in determination as he relentlessly pursues the truth and uncovers shocking secrets and brilliantly conceived lies.
