Two lovers murdered in a midnight tryst.

Late one night, Lynne Anderson reveals to her lover that she has something to tell him. And it's not just pillow talk. But before she can spill her shocking secrets, a shooter silences her and her lover forever.

A colleague who vanishes without a trace.

Meanwhile, her husband, Kevin Anderson, has disappeared, leaving behind only a partial report on the ancient tower houses he and Arnold Landon are reviewing. Arnold is left trying to puzzle out Kevin's skimpy notes. But the deeper he gets the more he fears for his missing coworker.

Did Kevin have anything to do with his wife's murder? And does any of it have anything to do with a mysterious painting Kevin unearthed inside a false ceiling?

Can Arnold piece it all together before the killer strikes again?
