Twenty-seven years ago, two-year-old Audrey Cutler disappeared from her home in the middle of the night. She was never found.

But when Kolarich starts receiving violent threats from Mr. Smith?s enigmatic employer, he figures out that the secrecy behind this nameless third party?and the key to winning Sammy?s case?is entangled with the mystery of Audrey?s disappearance.
