Sometimes payback comes when you least expect it.

When writer Kathy Rawls hires Snowe Agency to investigate the disappearance of her drunkard and ne’er-do-well husband, it seems that there’s really not much to investigate. John Rawls was last seen leaving the local bar after a typical bender, and no one is sure of his whereabouts. But something about the story doesn't sit right with Jeff Kolnikoff, the agency’s resident researcher and telekinetic. While typically reluctant to be actively engaged in the agency’s investigations due to his shy, awkward nature, the neatness of the scenario Mrs. Rawls paints bothers Jeff, and he starts looking into the missing man’s life. He quickly finds that John Rawls might not simply have gotten drunk and taken off for parts unknown.

After two more people vanish under similar circumstances, Jeff becomes certain they weren’t abducted but were actually murdered instead. As he discovers more commonalities between the disappearances, he realizes that he’s stumbled upon something far larger and much more sinister than anyone had anticipated. All of the missing people were awful human beings, but anyone with motive for revenge was nowhere near the scene of the crimes with unshakeable alibis. Will Jeff's intuition be enough to crack the case before more people disappear? Or will his tenacity make him the next target?
