A guy walks into a bar . . .

And vanishes off the face of the earth.

On Halloween night, twenty-seven-year-old medical student Ryan Shandling walks into Psycho Suzi's bar with his sometime friend Tad Roberts and Tad's infrequent girlfriend Jennifer Oliver. Several hours later, a camera documents Tad and Jennifer's departure but not Ryan's. And he is never seen again.

For the past two years, many wild theories have come out, but no one has figured out what happened to Ryan.

That's where Burke and Blade come in.

The two PIs, who specialize in missing persons cases, are unofficially enlisted by cold case investigator Rick Caron. And they enter into an extensive re-exploration of all known participants involved in the case to see if they can somehow solve the case the authorities haven't been able to. But powerful and evil people don't want the truth coming out and will do anything to stop them.

With threats to their lives, freedom, and family, they must decide if discovering the truth is worth the price they will pay to do so.
