Malory Fleet's son was killed by bikers and now she's worried about his missing girlfriend, Amanda. But that case was closed shut by the police a year ago and Frank Cain, the private investigator she's hired, is reluctant to take it on. On the darkened streets of uptown Saint John, no one wants to talk, even fewer have anything to say, and the police have cast a blanket of fog over everything. For Frank Cain, as unmoored as a lost ship in the harbour, in unravelling this case he risks unravelling himself.
