Synopsis

"Alex Lockerby's father once told him that It's the simple jobs that take the longest, and finding missing things is about as simple a job as Alex can get. When wealthy socialites hire him to track down their wayward daughter, finding her is easy, but that's just the beginning of his problems. As he's trying to deal with the no-longer-missing heiress and her family, Alex gets another case from a desperate young man. He wants Alex to prove his wife is innocent of murder, the only problem is that she was caught, red-handed. Alex takes the case, figuring it should be easy to prove what happened one way or another, but the more Alex looks into the murder, the worse it seems. The only thing he can't find is a motive. As Alex investigates he becomes convinced that both of his clients are being manipulated by someone with a bigger agenda. He knows he's on the right track when a would-be assassin takes a shot at him. Now Alex has to figure out who's running a deadly con game in Manhattan, hopefully before he and his clients become the sacrifice pawns."--Goodreads
