This Doesn't Happen in the Movies

Why would a man with no problems and five million dollars in the bank disappear? I should have run when Amanda Ghering walked into my detective agency looking like a femme fatale from a film noir. But I didn't. Instead, I took the job-and my first real case-tracking down her husband Peter, who disappeared without a trace three weeks ago. As beautiful and wealthy as she is dark and dangerous, Amanda's convinced he's been murdered. Who could have wanted him dead? Before long, it's clear there's more to this case than meets the eye. As Amanda's story keeps changing, someone is out there who'll do anything to stop me from finding out what happened to Peter. And time is running out for both of us. "I was halfway through the first chapter when I did something I rarely do - I laughed out loud. From that point on, I was hooked."
