Happy. Married. Missing.

Leigh Fletcher, devoted wife and stepmum, goes to work one day and never returns home.

Same week, different world … Kai Janssen leaves her sexy, wealthy husband and their luxurious penthouse, and vanishes into thin air.

Both husbands seem distraught, claiming they have no idea where their wives have gone.

DC Clements wants answers. Did these women run away or were they taken? Most importantly, where are they now? When the detective discovers a shocking link between the missing women, it’s clear the truth can devastate. Now Clements must work against a ticking clock, before both wives disappear forever.
