In the third novel by Peter J. Douros, (Vanished) FBI agent Nick J. Curtis exchanges the bustle of city life for the remote Missouri Ozarks, embarking on a covert mission disguised as a bow hunting excursion. His true purpose: to quietly unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Maya Hahn, a college student whose grandfather's ties to Nick's own superior add further layers of secrecy to the operation. Alongside him is a dedicated St. Louis K Nine police officer, accompanied by her keen sensed black Labrador, Storm, whose presence proves invaluable as the investigation progresses. The plot twists through moments of diligence, collaboration, and resourcefulness, as Nick and his team navigate the complexities of undercover work, local alliances, and the dangerous undercurrents that threaten to derail their pursuit of justice.
