CB Manor, a Bed and Breakfast in Guntersville, Alabama will never be the same after CB’s, Cecilia “Cilly” Butts childhood boyfriend returns 40 years later and enlists her PI skills to find his wife, Gloria, who disappeared 35 years earlier or to prove she is dead. CB agrees to take on the 35 year old cold case file originally investigated by the FBI, CID, NCIS and local law enforcement. Why did Gloria disappear? Is she dead or alive? Who is trying to impede CB’s current investigation? Why is SecNav interested? Danger surrounds this investigation, CB Manor and the lives of CB’s friends and family.

CB enlists the assistance of Spencer Salazar, CB’s neighbor and powerfully wealthy friend, but it is her Uncle Thad, retired Master Chief Petty Officer and CB’s Man Friday, who has access to SecNav who also wants CB to resolve the mystery of Gloria’s disappearance. How is the government involved? Who in the government is involved? Who is trying to kill CB?

Will sassy, potty mouth, stubborn, and determined CB succeed where all of those government law enforcement agencies failed? And what does she stand to lose because she refused to give up this quest?
