One Life to Lose — Nathan Birr

Private Investigator Jackson Douglas has always turned to his friends for help. Now, each of them needs to turn to him. Only none of them know where he is. Fighting against their own fears, Maggie, Sam, Mouse, Reggie, and Leroy band together to figure out what happened to Jackson. Working with old friends and new ones, they uncover several possible explanations for his disappearance, each with its own grim ramifications. None of them, however, are nearly as shocking as the truth. Nor as potentially catastrophic.
