murder

When she was sixteen years old, Angela Wong?one of the most popular girls in school?disappeared without a trace. Nobody ever suspected that her best friend, Georgina Shaw, now an executive and rising star at her Seattle pharmaceutical company, was involved in any way.

And Kaiser?now a detective with Seattle PD?finally learns the truth: Angela was a victim of Calvin James. The same Calvin James who murdered at least three other women.
