A disappearance draws J. P. Beaumont into a wider investigation

When a young woman disappears after traveling from Anchorage to Seattle for an internship, Twinkle Winkleman suspects the opportunity conceals a danger that authorities are overlooking. She turns to her old friend J. P. Beaumont, a private investigator and former homicide cop, and their inquiry connects the case to other missing girls. The story’s central tension comes from piecing together those disappearances while confronting a threat described as broader than either investigator initially expects. Twinkle’s mechanical skills and instinct for trouble place her alongside Beaumont as they work to find the missing women and stop further killings.

Book overview

New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance has penned a twisty, fast-paced mystery in which young girls are going missing and private investigator J. P. Beaumont is the only one who can find them.

Despite her name, Twinkle Winkleman is as tough as nails. A skilled mechanic and certified spitfire, she has a nose for trouble. So when a young woman from Anchorage disappears after heading to Seattle for an internship that seems too good to be true, Twinkle is convinced that something dangerous is happening. But both the Anchorage and Seattle authorities dismiss her out of hand.

With nowhere else to turn, Twinkle calls on an old friend: private investigator and former homicide cop J. P. Beaumont. While Twinkle and Beau investigate the disappearances, they stumble upon a plot more nefarious--and widespread--than they could have imagined.

With the clock ticking and multiple lives at stake, Beau and Twinkle must go above and beyond to stop the killings--and then bring the girls home before it is too late.
