A last request from a dying friend sends J.B. Dannan on a hunt that nearly costs him his life. The request: find a child who disappeared fifty years before. But how will J.B. start his search? Was it even possible to find a missing child after fifty years and a very cold trail? Dannan's starting point takes him to Pennsylvania and a high ranking senator. To the murder of another friend.

And to an insane asylum whose history was so horrific, it could chill the spine. In their hunt for answers, Anthony Solo, Dannan's associate, an ex-gangbanger from L.A., must kill or be killed. But who is the killer? And why is there no record of this person in the criminal database. But more important, who are the people behind so many atrocities? And what part does Dannan's fifty year old missing child case play in all the murders that have taken place? It becomes a mystery worthy of Dannan's investigative skills.
