A routine missing person's case sends Sam Jenkins and John Gallagher
into the world of industrial pollution, environmental activists and
profuse ambiguities. Former government agents, the man's parents and
other material witnesses seem to be withholding information and nothing
is as it appears. Can the young man's beautiful friend provide them with
enough information to locate her lover before it's too late? Time is
running out as the detectives attempt to locate the lost man on their
"peaceful side of the Smokies."
