It was one word. But that's all it took to put his world on hold. After answering a call from an unknown number, Detective Paxton Scholl knows without a doubt that the voice on the other end belongs to his ex-wife, Casey. In their first conversation in more than a decade, Paxton discovers why she's suddenly reaching out; Sarah, Casey's daughter, has run away. Again. And while her husband, Philip, believes otherwise, Casey is absolute in her belief that local authorities aren't doing all they can to find her. Now, afraid Sarah may be on borrowed time, Casey has called on the one person she knows can help.
With his spouse and partner both questioning the hasty decision, it's not until Paxton lands in L.A. that he understands the reason behind their concern. It seems the feelings he had for his ex-wife haven't faded. And it appears the same can be said for Casey.
Can old embers be fanned into a new flame? Or will they be forever extinguished by the discovery of a young girls body in a nearby city?
