First in the Alexandra Best Files: “A classic, page-turning mystery story” from the author of Illusions and Deadly Suspicions (Robert Foster, bestselling author of The Lunar Code).
PI Alexandra Best has been hired for a missing persons case. The question is . . . is the victim even missing at all?
Thirty-something Caroline Price has been “missing” for over two weeks. A reclusive freelancer, Caroline rarely has plans, seldom speaks to her family, and infrequently leaves home. But surely this doesn’t mean she’s been the victim of foul play. What is suspicious is that her father has waited until now to open an investigation—without wanting the police involved.
With a large inheritance at stake and a greedy cousin second in line, Alex starts to wonder if something terrible has happened after all. And when the sleuth finally finds a clue in Caroline’s diary, it brings more questions than answers. Who is this mysterious “M” who is featured so heavily in Caroline’s entries?
With more suspects than she can keep track of, Alex might be in deeper than she realizes—and finding Caroline could put her own life at risk . . .
The first in the Alexandra Best series, this crime thriller is a fast-paced mystery that will have readers racing to the end.
