The events in this novella immediately follow those in the short novel TOUGH CHOICES.
A Missing Child,
Unexpected Complications,
and a Father Behaving Suspiciously.
Private Investigator Max Johnson is contacted by the parents of a girl who has disappeared without a trace. Routine missing person case, or so he believes at first. It doesn't take long for him to realize there's more going on than the couple knows, or admits, and he's even more driven to find the promising young artist.
To complicate matters, Max is struggling in a way he can't begin to define or explain to himself, much less to his new wife, but he fears she might be the cause.
