Gone (The Harry Starke Novels Book 5)

When the one man in Chattanooga who can't stand me turned up at my door, hat in hand, I knew it had to be bad. I just didn't know how bad.
Chief Wesley Johnston hired me as a rookie cop eighteen years ago and we've been at each other's throats ever since. He tolerates me. Barely. So when he showed up outside my office on a Friday night, fidgeting like a man who'd rather be anywhere else on earth, I knew whatever had brought him there must have cost him plenty.
"It's Emily," he said. "She's gone."
His daughter. I remembered her as a little girl running riot around his office, full of questions, sweet enough that she once asked me to marry her when she grew up. She's twenty-one now, a student at an exclusive women's college up on Signal Mountain. And nobody had heard a word from her in almost a week. No calls. No texts. Her phone still pinging somewhere on that mountain, and not a soul able to find it, or her.
So I took the case, because whatever Johnston and I are to each other, that little girl deserves better than to simply vanish. But the higher you go up that mountain, the more money there is to hide behind, and the more people there are who would rather a missing girl stay missing.
My name is Harry Starke. Emily's out there somewhere and I'm going to find her, whatever it costs me, and whoever I have to burn to do it.
