Beneath Forbidden Ground

In the spring of 1991, four attractive young women vanished from an unknown location, presumably on the western outskirts of Houston, Texas. But that was only an assumption, since their individual vehicles were found abandoned, scattered over outlying areas of western Harris County and beyond. Even the actual date of their disappearance wasn't known, since no one, not even family members, knew where they had gone, and when, or why. With the passing of the years, and none of the girls having been spotted, it was presumed they had been the victims of homicides. No bodies had been discovered offering answers to the mystery.
In 2001, Detective Pete Scallion had recently moved from the Harris County Sheriff's Homicide Department to the Cold Case unit within the Sheriff's domain. He and his aging, ineffective partner take on the case. A witness who was afraid to come forward when the girls disappeared a decade earlier, suddenly appears with a clue that could possibly be meaningless. It soon becomes the first in a series of connected dots, leading Scallion and his partner on a serpentine path that takes them closer and closer to solving the ten year old puzzle.
