TJ Peacock & Lisa Rayburn

Is the rising number of abused women who've gone missing a statistical anomaly? Or is a serial killer targeting this vulnerable group of women? When the Milwaukee Police Department refuses to investigate because no bodies have been discovered, Lisa Rayburn, the clinical psychologist who discovers the anomaly, is drawn into an investigation to discover the cause after one of her own clients goes missing.

A deadly house explosion lures private investigator TJ Peacock to the site of the fire where she meets Gemma, a woman tortured by the death of a friend who died in the explosion. Gemma is convinced the explosion was deliberate and hires TJ to find out who murdered her friend. TJ takes the case and returns to the work she loves, despite feeling guilty about neglecting the responsibilities of her other roles as a wife and mother.
