When Kendra Donovan is approached by Mrs. Gavenston with an unusual requestto find her business manager, Jeremy Pascoe, who recently vanishedthe FBI agent is eager to accept the challenge.

Unfortunately, the missing persons case turns into a murder investigation after Kendra finds the man stabbed to death in a remote cottage that hed been using as a writers retreat. Everyone who knew him says that Pascoe was a fine fellow. So who hated him enough to kill him?
