How does a family just disappear? Alexis Mission returns to her parents' house for Thanksgiving and winds up in the middle of a mystery. The house is locked, the turkey's in the oven--burned to a crisp--four places are set at the table and not one member of her family can be found. Sitting in the shadows is a man claiming to be a government agent. Gabriel O'Rourke wants her to believe what can't possibly be true. He wants her to go with him. He wants her to trust him. But that's not what Alexis wants. Too bad she has no other choice. Gabriel is the only one who can tell her what's going on--even if everything he says sounds like a lie.
