Heather Samuelson is moving through the supermarket checkout line when she encounters her Aunt Myrtle, worrying that her friend, Anna, has not returned from a jaunt across the store for free coffee. Moments later, Heather sets out on a search for Anna that takes her straight into a pitch-black storeroom-and a gruesome murder scene. With one man dead and her aunt's friend on her way to the hospital, Heather is once again plunged into circumstances beyond her control, as she tries to discover who killed Michael Santiam and wonders whether the murderer plans to return to finish off her aunt's friend. Determined to solve the puzzle before her upcoming wedding, Heather partners with the police department and her fiancé detective, Jazz, to search for the identity of Anna, whose memory only goes back two years. Just when she is getting somewhere, Anna suddenly disappears from her hospital bed. Now Heather must determine if Anna is being held captive or if someone is protecting her-and if or how the recent turn of events ties into a murder committed twenty years earlier. In this brain teaser mystery, an amateur sleuth immersed in a complex investigation to solve a murder must find the link between the past and present before a killer strikes again.
