And when Jersey Andrews, the best friend of Alyssa’s teenage daughter, Holly, joins the list of vanished girls, the case becomes personal. But this investigation will lead Alyssa and her partner Cord into the most sinister depths of humanity—an evil place where life is expendable and where the depraved can fulfil their darkest desires...if they have the money to pay for it.
