A real estate deal turns deadly. The landowner, Charlie Taylor, is killed, and Matt Doran, the developer is missing. Now Kramer Construction is pushing for control of the land. Billie Ross, of Ross Investigation Services, is hired by the missing man's sister. As Billie digs deeper into the mystery her own safety is at stake.

Is the missing real estate developer a murderer, or a victim? The police suspect Charlie's death is the reason Matt is missing, and they want to question him. Those who know Matt have doubts, he surely isn't capable of murder. Billie's job is to find him, not determine his guilt or innocence. Those who want Matt to remain hidden are intent upon stopping Billie's investigation. Even if it means making Billie disappear!
