Stern Talbot, P.I.—The Early Years: The Case of the Missing Body

Long before he went into private practice as a P.I., Stern Talbot was a detective for the LAPD. 

Some cases are better than others, not so rattling. Not so sleep-depriving. Not so insane.

But the evidence in a brand new missing persons case echoes the evidence in a three year old cold case that ended with a missing body. 

Now it's time to figure things out and close them both. How could Stern know what was waiting at the end of the line? 

The twists and turns of this case test the imagination and strain the emotions.
