Private Investigator Alice Vega has a new case. She has been hired to find Zeb Williams. Thirty years ago, Zeb was the Place-kicker in the big Cal-Stanford game. With the score tied, Zeb grabbed the ball and purposely ran the wrong way, scoring a touchdown for the other team, and running out of the stadium. After that happened, he disappeared. Zeb became a legend. Many people claimed they saw him in various places around the world, but none of the sightings were substantiated. Alice looks into Zeb's background and follows a trail to a small town in Oregon. There she runs into a local hate group who doesn't like her asking questions.

It's so nice to get back into this series. Alice is currently off on her on-again, off-again relationship with former cop Max Caplan. She does contact his daughter, Nell, and asks for a little information. Nell would love to see her dad back together with Alice, so she keeps pushing him to talk to her.

The investigation into Zeb's disappearance started off strong, but Alice got hung up by the white supremacist group that seems to be running the town. I found this storyline interesting, and I wasn't sure how it would end. The second half of the book kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm hoping the author will continue this series. I love the characters and look forward to more cases. My rating: 4 Stars.
