When Nico Morillo, a 12-year-old boy from the wrong side of town goes missing, everyone in Silver Lake thinks he ran away. The police don’t believe there was foul play, but Officer Evan Harding isn’t ready to give up on Nico.
Eliza Kingston’s office door opens and Talia Morillo walks in, desperate for Eliza to help find her son. Eliza doesn’t think she is the right person to lead the investigation, but she can’t say no to a frantic mother.
Nico was last seen by a group of friends six months ago, and now one of those friends is missing, too. Eliza knows that something sinister has happened, but she could never predict the twists and turns she’ll face as she gets closer to the truth.
