Shiloh Yescavage, a young woman from Tenbrooks, Georgia, hires Frank to find her missing boyfriend, Popeye Snopes. Frank suspects Popeye used a catfishing scam through a dating app to swindle Shiloh out of $10,000. Since they only communicated online, Shiloh can offer little information about him. Popeye claimed to live in Frank's small town of Pelham, Virginia, but he doubts that story.
When the town library is destroyed by fire, Frank begins to wonder whether Shiloh is connected to the crime; she previously served time for arson. Then she disappears from her motel room, and the search spirals into a case rocked by deception, violence, and secrets.
On a stormy April night, Frank returns to a secluded, tin-roofed cottage occupied by a mysterious woman who may hold the answers he's been seeking. But every revelation he makes only raises new questions, and the truth proves more dangerous than he ever imagined.
As always, Frank relies on his longtime friend and business partner, Gerald Peyton; his wife, Dreema, a college criminology instructor; and his sharp-tongued attorney, Robert Gatlin. Together, they follow the trail wherever it leads, determined to uncover the truth for their client—even if it costs Frank his life.
