When a wife goes missing, writer and reluctant private investigator Bev Stone, is hired to find her. Bev takes the occasional investigation for her friend Joan who runs a missing persons' agency, called, Missing You. The case is trouble from the start as Bev doesn't trust the husband who is the client, but that's not her only concern. Her investigation brings her into contact with people who don't want the wife to be found and Bev finds herself dealing with a dangerous adversary. If you like books by Grafton or Paretsky, then you should enjoy stories featuring this feisty UK investigator.
