"It's a humid summer night in 1997 and Ludo Carre is nervous. Her hasn't seen or spoken to his ex, Arlo Quinonez, since he was fifteen. Now, he's returning home and is about to be reunited with the only person he really connected with in his youth. The night before he arrives, Ludo calls her to ease his nerves. Big laughs and a familiar cadence in Arlo's voice don't just calm him down -- they make him excited to see her. That excitement only hurts him more when he shows up the next day to find that Arlo has been missing...for over a week. Gone without a trace, the girl he once knew everything about is now a mystery. Determined to find her, Ludo takes things into his own hands, but the further he gets into his investigation, the more he questions how well anyone on base, in town, or even he himself really knew her. Where is his best friend -- and who is she?" -- From back cover.
