Karen Cady is convinced there’s a connection, but her father, a private detective, has long since given up the search. Pretending to write an article for the school magazine, Karen Cady starts to investigate.

Are Paul’s family hiding something? Do they really want Paul found? And what was the secret Barbara told Paul shortly before her death? It’s up to Karen to unearth a mystery some people would rather remained buried…
