About This Book
Years ago, homicide detective Frank Pavlicek left the NYPD under less than ideal circumstances. Now the divorced father of a teenage daughter, he works as a private investigator in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he indulges his passion for falconry--and savors the thrill of the hunt....
When her twin sister, Cartwright, disappears, Cassidy Drummond can't help wondering if her father--a congressman known as much for his philandering as for his politics--has something to do with it. Desperate and deeply frightened, she turns to Frank Pavlicek for help. But despite a long list of possible culprits--and the fact that Cartwright's car has been found with blood on the seats--Frank isn't convinced it's foul play. And soon the falconer is following a treacherous trail of family secrets and sinister scandals to the most dangerous discovery of all--the truth....
