Brooklyn art circles are buzzing about the latest sensation, painter Joel James. But all is not as it seems with him, as Tracy discovers to her surprise. And then he vanishes.
Tracy has another case giving her trouble too. An old friend asks her to locate his missing sister, and the only lead Tracy has is the vanished artist. Is Russian mafia involved? Have they taken the missing girl too?
When a body is found, Tracy's missing person becomes a murder suspect. Can Tracy find her before the police? Or worse, before the girl becomes the next victim of the actual killer.
On top of everything, Tracy's going on a date—with her boss Jackson. But does it mean something, or is he just doing her a favor? And what does it say about her that she still can't keep away from Jonny Moreira, the sexy, no-good mafia enforcer?
