"Justine (Jo) Vega is a queer woman private investigator on the cusp of forty who works for an all-female agency based in Tucson, Arizona. As she's staking out a cheating spouse one ordinary morning, she gets a call from her boss: her long-estranged childhood best friend, Rose, is missing, and Rose's mother wants to hire Jo to find her. This whole thing is all kinds of wrong for Jo, but her boss has already accepted the job on her behalf. So Jo heads reluctantly up to her old hometown, Delphi, an hour north of Tucson, where Tyler, her high school boyfriend and the reason her friendship with Rose went south, turns out to be the cop assigned to the missing-persons case. And he's all mixed up in it, too. And, so to find out what happened to Rose, Jo must face the demons from her past. . ."--
