A chance meeting in a public school bathroom rekindles old feelings in PI Yolanda "Dutch" Riggins for her former college friend Judith Kerson. Forbidden to Dutch twenty years ago, as Vice President of the United States, Judith is now completely taboo. Regardless, the two make a tentative dinner date, but fate intervenes and Judith goes missing. With one Secret Service person killed and another in critical condition, witnesses are scarce and Dutch and her crew take up the reins of the investigation.
Why would anyone abduct the Vice President? Is it for money, fame, or something more sinister? Whatever the reason, it is up to Dutch to find her old friend in the first of the action-packed, suspenseful Dutch Chocolate Series: The VP is Missing.
