And now his teenage girlfriend, Emily Raines, is missing.\u003cbr\u003eCould she be dead as well? \u003cbr\u003eWhile Joshua's grieving father starts digging for the truth about his son's death, Emily's father sets out to find his daughter. When his own efforts fail and the local police don't seem to be doing enough, he seeks the help of Grey Colson, a retired-cop-turned-private-investigator who has dedicated his life to educating the public about the dangers of drugs.\u003cbr\u003eIn direct opposition to Colson's efforts, billionaire Jack Strawn is heading up a nationwide campaign to make recreational substances legal in all fifty states. His claim of altruistic motives, for the good of the public, seems shady to Colson. And now Keith Bartlett, Joshua's father suspects the worst...\u003cbr\u003e...is it possible Strawn was involved somehow in Joshua's death? \u003cbr\u003eWho is the mysterious assassin targeting Colson and the district attorney, resulting in the D.A.'s tragic murder?\u003cbr\u003eColson sets out to discover the answers, warning Joshua's father to stay out of a dangerous world he knows nothing about.
