Thirteen years earlier, the political scandal exposed by the determined young journalist Joanna Duncan had serious consequences. Not long after the publication of the article, the woman disappeared forever. Joanna's mother, who still can't come to terms with her daughter's disappearance, visits the detective agency of Kate Marshall and Tristan Harper. After many small assignments, the Kates are especially excited to be able to work on a classically dead case.

When they receive the files of the police investigation, they follow the same suspects and clues one after the other - only they come up with different results. Among Joanna's personal belongings, Kate discovers a note: the names of two young men who also disappeared without a trace at the time.
As the events of the last days of the missing persons unfold before them, they realize that Joanna may have uncovered a much darker secret than anyone could have imagined. The closer they get to the big reveal, the more dangerous the chase becomes for Kate and Tristan...

Now as an official private investigator, Kate Marshall proves that no complicated case can be unsolvable for her. Robert Bryndza does not disappoint readers, who can be excited for the protagonists until the last pages.
