When she meets three new friends who share her passion for crime, from the geek to the fashionista, suddenly, the stifling desert days dont seem so long.Her dad is never around, just like when her parents were married. But Jexs crew, the DrewIds, take the pledge of eternal secrecy and then get down to the good stuffdigging through the coldcase files in Dads home office.One of them, the thirteenyearold case of Patty Matthews, is still a mystery. Finding Patty, who vanished into thin air, became such an obsession for Jexs father that it destroyed the Malones marriage. So not only is this a big deal, its personal.Jex is determined to find out what really happened, and her excitement is contagious. Soon her friends are all on board and so is the missing girls brother, the hunky Cooper Matthews.But as they dig up more and more troubling informationmore than the cops ever didthey also get the clear message that someone out there wants to prevent the truth from coming out.
