DC Smith and the rest of the murder squad are on the case to find a missing woman -- but the danger might be closer than they assume.

A big car pulls up. No one gets out. Then the doors of a bar nearby open and people appear. Two men and a young woman, and one of the men has a hold on the woman's arm. It looks as if they're having words.

Then this all happens quickly -- they push the woman towards the car, one of the back doors opens and they manhandle her inside. There's a muffled shout from the woman and the car pulls away.

It's all over in a few seconds.

It's just a few seconds -- but seconds are all it takes to set in motion a sequence of events involving every member of the Kings Lake Central murder squad in the days to follow -- and this time the threat is to one of their own.
