Stone Barrington thought he'd heard the last of former girlfriend Arrington after she'd left him and New York for California to marry Vance Calder, Hollywood's hottest star. The last thing Stone expected was a desperate call from Calder informing him that Arrington has vanished and asking him to LA and help find her. In a town where the sharks drive Bentleys and no one can be trusted, Stone soon discovers he's drowning in a sea of empty clues that take him from Bel Air to Malibu to Rodeo Drive. Running out of time and leads, he needs to keep his head above water and find Arrington fast, or end up swimming with the fishes himself.
