(Book)

"For Scarlett McCormick, head curator of the Reed Museum of Art and Archaeology, it's just a normal day at work. She strolls around the beautiful grounds, savoring the mild January weather in Crescent Harbor, California. But when she returns to her office, her mother calls and breaks the devastating news that Scarlett's father is missing. The next day Scarlett arrives at her childhood home in Ithaca, New York, to find a chill in the air that has nothing to do with the freezing temperature. Her mother receives a ransom note demanding an ancient glass vase in exchange for Scarlett's father, but the vase is nowhere to be found. Still reeling from her father's disappearance, Scarlett learns more shocking news. Her father is now the prime suspect in a murder investigation. She vows to clear his name, so she searches for the truth with Luke Anderson, her friend and an FBI agent. Scarlett clings to a shard of hope even as they uncover bitter rivalries and deadly secrets. Scarlett and Luke devise a dangerous plan to get her father back. It's a race against time, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Will they bring him to safety before the plan shatters into a million pieces?" --Publisher's website.
