However, the illusion shatters when their home becomes a crime scene. Investigator Tessa Leoni arrives to find no witnesses, no ransom demands, and no apparent motive—just a perfect little family, gone without a trace.
Tessa knows that flawless fronts can hide the darkest secrets. Racing against the clock, she must uncover the truth behind the disappearance. Who would want to kidnap such a family? And how far would the perpetrators be willing to go?
