About this item
by Thomas Griffin (Author)
A college student vanishes. Julia Garcia was last seen at a lakeside cottage on Seneca Lake, where she spent a weekend with friends. The routine police search comes up empty. Desperate, her parents turn to Frank Harris, a New York private detective, who takes the case, even though he doubts he ll break even.
Harris suspects the police didn t dig deep enough. But his decision to help isn t purely professional. Having grown up in the Finger Lakes region, the case draws him back to his family. Yet both the search for Julia and his homecoming prove far more complicated than he anticipated.
As Frank follows Julia s trail, he faces resistance from potential witnesses, including her new boyfriend and his wealthy family. It takes Frank time to grasp the background of Julia s disappearance, namely the violent struggle between competing drug cartels. Was Julia abducted by gang members? Is she still alive?
Meanwhile, Frank s return to his family gets him involved in the marital problems of his older sister for which he is unprepared.
