A derelict house.
A sinister owner.
A woman missing.
Lindy Larsen's inherited ranch is financially struggling. She hopes her career as a PI will keep it afloat, but an assignment surveilling a man suspected of fraud leads her to a house he claims to be renovating, yet nothing indicates work is being done there. Plus, several women in the area go missing, and their bodies are found near where she's seen the fraudster, which is miles from where he should be.
Could he be involved? Is that house on the wrong side of the tracks where he kept the women? Although Lindy's searches turn up nothing, she can't shake her suspicion. And now, she's caught her boyfriend in a series of lies. A bright spark is the arrival of her best friend, Kristy, who seems to have marital problems of her own.
Then Kristy disappears.
Lindy has no choice but to check out the old house. She'll be careful. But with a serial killer on the loose, just being careful might not be enough.
