Feisty Los Angeles crime reporter Molly Blume is newly married and her latest true-crime book is a hot seller. An overardent fan desperately seeks Molly's help in finding his eighteen-year-old daughter who has run away from home to be with a man she met on the Internet. The more Molly investigates the more she wonders whether the girl is a random victim of a predator, or a pawn in a scheme of revenge against her family.
