Liberty Blair lives in Southern California and is about to write a novel when she learns her daughter, an only child, is missing.┬а After filing a Missing Persons Report, she receives a call from a detective in a town just outside of Las Vegas, asking her to identify the body of a woman recently found in his jurisdiction.┬а Detective John Hatchet┬аhas always been┬аknown for his backbone and determination.┬а He's also known for having had more than his share of women.┬а On the other hand, Liberty has┬аa few problems of her own, like a bad case of misplaced emotions, sexuality, and lack of direction.┬а This just might hinder Hatchet's resolve in unraveling the mystery. After all he's a detective, not a therapist. ┬а
