A five-year-old is missing in the Montana Rockies. The sheriff says she isn't lost. Someone might die.
Thanksgiving week, 2000. Connor Pierce has one last chance to save his family's struggling Toyota dealership-sell a fleet deal to a nationalist rancher who bleeds Ford. Then Connor's estranged sister calls from Eureka, six hundred miles north near the Canadian border. Little Kayla Peale, youngest daughter of the family Renée is staying with, has vanished from her bed.
Local law shrugs it off. Kayla's feuding parents cry wolf loudly and often. The girl's father rants endlessly about a glass castle he's building but no one has ever seen. The friendly little town goes quiet every time Connor asks a wrong question.
Connor sells cars for a living and finds lost things on the side. A horse, a car, a runaway bride. He's never searched for a child. Every hour in Eureka puts his business at risk. Every hour he doesn't spend looking puts Kayla at greater risk. When the search finally turns up a body, the person the sheriff locks up is his sister, Renée.
The second Connor Pierce Mystery: a small-town mystery with a wisecracking narrator, a mountain winter closing in, and a town that would rather not know.
Content note: This story involves the exploitation and past abuse of children (referenced, not depicted), violence, and strong language.
