Florida reporter Brandy O\'Bannon is intrigued by a classified ad that asks an unidentified woman, who has been missing for twenty years, to come forward.
She outwits both nature and assailants, helps solve two brutal murders--and gets her front page story..
In the process, Brandy becomes the victim of attack, kidnapping, and hurricane.
While trying to resolve both mysteries, Brandy ferrets out a new friend\'s true identity and guides her to self-knowledge.
The grisly fate of the private detective who placed the ad is soon discovered by Brandy\'s golden retriever.
When Brandy learns that a woman\'s skeleton was found a year later in the basement of one of the state\'s oldest and Cedar Key\'s most charming hotel, she begins a search for answers.
The young mother and her two-year old daughter disappeared as Hurricane Agnes swept into the historic Gulf coast village of Cedar Key, although no fatalities were reported.
