About this eBook

A California crime blogger left her radio job to find missing people. Now she’s searching for her best friend in this “harrowing [and] intense” mystery (Publishers Weekly).
 
Farley Black, Kit’s friend and former radio co-host, is missing. He was supposed to be surfing with his girlfriend but never arrived at his Malibu Beach destination. As the last person to hear from him, Kit is determined to find out what’s happened.
 
Kit searches Farley’s home and what she finds there threatens her ideas about friendship, loyalty, and love. A surprising discovery makes it clear that Farley has been lying to her—and to everyone else.
 
Kit heads north in search of the truth. Fortunately, she’s joined in this search by her street-smart friend, Virgie, whose breaking-and-entering skills come in handy as the duo follow the signal from Farley’s phone toward a rural area on the Redwood Highway close to Mendocino. But a series of menacing incidents convinces Kit that she’s being watched. Someone is tracking her every move. As her unknown pursuer grows bolder and more reckless, Kit realizes she isn’t just looking for her friend—but running from a killer.

Ratings and reviews

Kit Doyle is a crime blogger who has a limited history of being able to find people. But today she's searching for her best friend. Farley Black is missing. He was supposed to meet his girlfriend to go surfing, but he never showed. All his surfing gear is still at his house .. but other things are missing. Has something nefarious happened? Did he leave by his own choice? As Kit hits the road looking for him, someone is watching every move she makes. Who is in the mysterious van that is following her? And where the heck is Farley? I didn't find this one necessarily suspenseful, but the mystery was entertaining. I liked the characters ... especially Kit's cohort, Virgie. She is a hoot! There's several sinister looking characters living off the grid. All they want is for Kit to go away. So many secrets ... and so many lies. Many thanks to the author / Severn House / Netgalley for providing a digital copy of this book. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
